Sherburn Bartley Sanders

Following a chance meeting in 1993, Chris Sherburn (concertina) and Denny Bartley (vocals, guitar) forged a lasting folk partnership, touring extensively across Europe and America. In 2016, they joined forces with Emily Sanders (fiddle/viola, vocals), adding vocal harmonies, strings, and a fresh dimension to their Celtic-rooted sound. Emily, a founding member of Isambarde, has also performed with Simon Fowler’s (Ocean Colour Scene) Merrymouth and with Pete Morton, and Chris Parkinson. Together, the trio blends soul-stirring songs, exhilarating tunes, and infectious on-stage banter, creating performances filled with warmth, laughter, and top-tier musicianship. Whether on a festival stage or in an intimate venue, Sherburn, Bartley & Sanders captivate audiences with their chemistry and charm. “Superb musicians of the highest order.” – Alan Wood “A joy to watch… this is what music is meant to be.” – Ant Miles
