In the past few years, 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 multiinstrumentalist
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's second solo record 'Light The Boats', features guest appearances from
Adrian Crowley and Chris T-T, guitarist Ted Barnes, as well as long-term
cohort Emily Barker and her fellow Red Clay Halo members, violinist Anna
Jenkins and cellist Jo Silverston. It was well received and played by BBC
Radio 2 (Dermot O'Leary, Bob Harris) BBC 6 Music (Cerys Matthews, Tom
Robinson BBC Introducing) plus other BBC regional stations and local
radio.
Gill has recently finished recording her third album at Livingston Studios,
due for release in May 2016. She will be touring with several of her fellow
musicians, to accompany the release. Expect from the new songs - darkly
poetic vocals, rich string and brass arrangements around guitar and piano,
underpinned by a solid rhythm section from Ali Friend (Red Snapper/
Imagined Village) and Sebastian Hankins (The Leisure Society).
"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
