Julie July and her band make their debut performance at the Barbican Theatre with contemporary folk-rock, paying tribute to the music of Sandy Denny.
Julie July Band make their debut at the Barbican Theatre on Friday 16 July, bringing contemporary folk-rock to Castle Street. It's their first time playing the venue, and the set is built around Julie July's expressive singing and evocative storytelling.
There's a clear thread running through the band's work. They pay tribute to the music of Sandy Denny, the late voice of Fairport Convention, and the influences they draw from are all over the place: Fleetwood Mac, Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span, Strawbs, and Richard & Linda Thompson. It's a sound that sits in the folk-rock tradition, with the songwriting and the singing taking centre stage.
2027 is a big year for them, as they're releasing their fourth original album. This show will be one of the first times you'll hear that new material live, alongside songs from their earlier records. Between the new songs and the older ones, the set should give a good sense of where the band has come from and where they're heading.
