ABOUT GILL

In the past 2 years, fast rising contemporary singer-songwriter Gill Sandell has played Wembley Arena and the Olympics Opening Ceremony with Frank Turner, as well as touring Europe, the UK and Australia as multi-instrumentalist with Emily Barker & The Red Clay Halo.

Yet Gill is at her most potent performing her own captivating blend of delicate but lyrical modernist folk: her sweet delivery disguises a dry wit and some darkly complex, nuanced songwriting, which is making waves on the UK grassroots folk and acoustic scene. "An insightful writing style, impressive fiddle and ethereal harmonies. Beautiful and reflective." - Maverick

Gill recently released her second solo record 'Light The Boats', which features guest appearances from Adrian Crowley and Chris T-T, as well as long-term cohort Emily Barker. Tonight, she performs as a trio with her fellow Red Clay Halo members, violinist Anna Jenkins and cellist Jo Silverston. She'll also perform songs from her 2011 debut 'Tarry Awhile'.

"This is gorgeous, what a beautiful record" - Bob Harris

"Gill has a beautiful, clear soft voice which more than matches the sparse strings and rich piano that accompany it. From the first track you can tell this is an accomplished musician... I am smitten by her beautiful music." - For Folk's Sake
