Reviews

"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. I had the pleasure of touring with them two years in succession. We made a lot of music together venturing in to the unknown"

Liam Ó Maonlaí ~ Hothouse Flowers

"...this (WINTERTIDE) looks wonderful, look forward to hearing it!, and it's great to hear the band is doing so well"

Steve Hackett (ex GENESIS, GTR)

"..next up...this is the new Winter single 'WinterTide' from the trio White Sail, you all know Sarah Dean and her harp from her work with Heather Findlay and Luna Rossa...but this is just beautifully atmospheric, I know you're going to enjoy this...a band to listen out for..."

DJ Phil Meel (RADIO CAROLINE)

"(Spring)....absolutely beautiful, wonderful...when I heard this song it just floored me, it was stunning and a tonic to the soul, just what was needed..."

DJ Jericho Keys ~ Radio York ~ BBC Introducing

“The combined talents of Jane Stockdale, Chris Bartram and Sarah Dean are truly incredible, this is music that is good for the heart and the soul, a tonic we all need these days - wonderful stuff! “

Review from Alan Hewitt in THE WAITING ROOM

"...I just wanted to personally congratulate all of you on your performance last night at WebbStock. It was a stunner and the FOH (front of house) sound was impeccable - aided by the natural reverb of the venue. Thoroughly enjoyed what was a captivating set, with beautiful harmonies and talented playing on a plethora of instruments - the whole audience were enthralled! Wishing you much continued success, very best wishes to you all..."

Rob Cottingham (CAIRO)

"...The first time I saw White Sail they easily won over the audience with their sensitive musicality and the fragile charm of Jane's voice.

Since then they have only got better..."

Ray Cooper (ex OYSTERBAND)

"...White Sail - a lovely bunch of extremely talented musicians, who create wonderful music with delightful melodies and exquisite harmonies. A firm favourite..."

Bill Horncastle, The Fox's Den Show on Vixen 101.

"...I wanted to let you know how brilliant White Sail were last night and to thank you for giving us such a magical evening. You really have a very unique sound with every song surprising us with yet another variety of musical genre and rhythm. Everyone said how much they'd enjoyed your music and the evening - you certainly had me transported!..."

Tish Hall-Wilkinson, Ripon Folk Club

"...White Sail...a very talented bunch of people they proved to be. Starting with one of my favourite Sarah Dean songs, Beautiful World, was a delight, but had me worried that nothing would match it. Especially with the extra dimension of Jane's voice and all three playing, not just Sarah's harp. I needn't have worried though, despite only knowing the one cover version they did, and none of their original material, they were so good, they bewitched me and blew me away at the same time. They changed instruments almost every song, one or sometimes two acoustic guitars and an arm held drum and even a type of accordion, they showed their versatility and musical talent. Anyone who likes things on the folky side apart from folk purists would surely enjoy them immensely..."

David Webb

"...It was wonderful - thought provoking, beautiful, moving, funny and uplifting..."

Kerry Merriam

"...We have received many positive comments about the event and in particular the stylish and sophisticated ambience in the Oak Room. White Sail was fundamental in creating this atmosphere and this is very much appreciated...”
