White Sail

White Sail are York-based trio Sarah Dean, Jane Stockdale & Chris Bartram. With a glorious melding of harmony vocals & guitars, mandolin, Celtic harp, Appalachian dulcimer, shruti box, trumpet, flute, woodwinds & percussion, the trio weaves its unique magic on the contemporary & traditional. White Sail have recently toured twice with Liam O’Maonlai, charismatic frontman of Hothouse Flowers, acting as his support, and also taking on the role of ‘house band’!

After last year's SOLD OUT gig at rise@Bluebird, Oz Hardwick, reviewing for Rock N Reel Magazine, wrote, "White Sail's sound is in a line from those '60s bands who brought the instrumental textures of distant lands into British folk clubs…the three distinctive voices swoop and soar together in endlessly arresting arrangements - a masterclass in harmony. That's the essence of what makes the band…that rootedness in English/British tradition, but with enough of the unexpected to make them very much their own."

“White Sail are rooted in the music of the people and the music of the land. There is a heart-driven energy in the way they share their music and songs…we made a lot of music together venturing into the unknown .”
