Event information

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 band, Last Night’s Fun. In 2016, Chris and Denny teamed up with Emily Sanders (fiddle/viola and vocals) to form this exciting trio. For the first time, they incorporated vocal harmonies and strings to enhance Chris and Denny’s distinctive sound. Emily’s addition has also introduced a female vocal presence and expanded their repertoire with English folk songs, complementing the band's strong Celtic roots. Emily was a founder member of the acclaimed trio Isambarde. She has also toured with Merrymouth (Simon Fowler, Lead Singer of Ocean Colour Scene) and regularly appears with Pete Morton and Chris Parkinson. Now, their soul-stirring songs, exhilarating tunes and quick-witted banter ensures that no two concerts are ever the same. From festival stages to intimate venues, their performances are filled with warmth, laughter, and exceptional musicianship.
