White Sail - Alt-folk chroniclers of Love, Life, Land & Sea
White Sail are York-based trio Sarah Dean, Jane Stockdale & Chris Bartram. With a glorious melding of harmony vocals & guitars, mandolin, Celtic harp, Appalachian dulcimer, shruti box, trumpet, flute, woodwinds & percussion, the trio perform their own unique material at gigs and festivals. Taking their inspiration from nature, history & heritage they write about love, life, the land and the sea. The stories are told with passion and sublime musicality. The songs are set against soundscapes that are joyous, vibrant and at times, gentle and mesmeric. They also weave their unique magic on the contemporary & traditional.
The last five years have seen the band delight audiences around the country, at folk clubs, festivals & radio shows. Their growing reputation has led to gigs with many artists including RAY COOPER (ex-OYSTERBAND), SIOBHAN MILLER, HEATHER FINDLAY BAND and LUNA ROSSA. Most recently, October 2021, White Sail were the official support for LIAM Ó MAONLAI of Hothouse Flowers on his sold-out 10-date tour of the north of England. As well as our support slot, they joined Liam onstage for many of his songs.
Their brand-new EP 'This Great Ocean has had excellent reviews, and you can listen to this and their other music here: https://whitesailband.bandcamp.com
