The Julie July Band, Paul Handyside

The Julie July Band pay tribute and performs songs from the ‘Sandy Denny’ Songbook, from dreamy acoustic melodies to driving progressive folk-rock. Sandy Denny was one of the UK’s singer songwriters of the British Folk Rock movement. In her brief career, spanning just thirteen years, she left a legacy of beautiful, haunting original compositions and traditional material. Richard Thompson called her ‘The greatest female artist of her generation’. Melody Maker readers twice voted her ‘Best British Female Singer’ in 1970 and 1971. Her most famous song “Who knows where the time goes?” was voted ‘Favorite Folk Track of All Time’ by listeners of BBC Radio 2 and has been covered by many artists including Judy Collins, Nina Simone and Eva Cassidy.
