SHERBURN BARTLEY SANDERS

£12.50 FEBRUARY 5th 2022

Click here to buy tickets…..

Following a chance meeting at Whitby Folk Festival in 1993, Chris Sherburn (concertina) and Denny
Bartley (vocals and guitar) have been bringing their unique sound to audiences across Europe and
America, creating one of folk music’s most enduring partnerships. Their obvious rapport made them
one of the busiest acts on the folk scene, both as a duo and with their well-loved trio/quartet Last
Night’s Fun. Their soul-stirring songs, exhilarating tunes and quick-witted banter ensures that no two
concerts are ever the same.
In 2016 Chris and Denny joined forces with Emily Sanders (fiddle/viola and vocals) and have since
become a well-established trio, for the first time blending vocal harmonies and strings to underpin
Chris and Denny’s unique sound, as well as providing a female lead vocal for some songs, and
bringing a repertoire of English folk songs to complement the band’s more Celtic and traditional roots.
Emily was a founder member of the acclaimed trio Isambarde. She has also toured with Merrymouth
(Simon Fowler of Ocean Colour Scene’s acoustic band) and regularly appears with Pete Morton and
Chris Parkinson.
Their latest album BEGUILE is the first to feature Chris, Denny and Emily together, and also has
some stellar guest performances from Martin Simpson and Andy Seward (Kate Rusby Band).

THE REVOLUTIONAIRES

£12.50 

Please note the date change from March 5th.

  Click here to buy tickets….

 Without doubt one of the very best bands ever to have appeared on the Shire Hall stage and they are in some illustrious company believe me…

Established within the ‘hotbed’ of the North East music scene in the UK, they power out jumpin’ hot rhythm & blues in their own indomitable hard hitting style.

Primarily, they are influenced by 1940’s and 1950’s R&B. In particular, Louis Jordan, Big Joe Turner, Little Richard, Chuck Berry and Roy Brown but have adopted a harder and more aggressive approach, synonymous with modern blues artists such as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Duke Robillard, Jools Holland and Mike Henderson which helps create their own high energy sound.

Over the last decade, The Revolutionaires have established themselves on the UK and European Rockin’ circuit, as well as the Blues scene.

They have toured extensively both in the UK and abroad, performing at festivals in Ireland, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Holland, Germany, Norway, Denmark, Italy, Spain, Malta and Dubai.

Highlights include performing at festivals with artistes such as Jerry Lee Lewis, Sting, Tom Jones, Hugh Laurie, Jimmie Vaughan, Robert Cray, Walter Trout, Eric Bibb, Albert Lee, Snake Davis and Dave Edmunds.

Now also touring with their Big Band project which consists of extra horns and pianist, The Revs are hitting the Festival circuit with this power house line up and big sound.

They have recorded five CDs to date containing a collection of Hot Rockin’ R&B tracks. Each CD captures the ‘rawness’ and sheer energy of the band, who like to give their performances a ‘hard-edged’ vibe!
