George Sansome
Leeds
With a passion for storytelling and a gift for tapping into the human experience, George Sansome is a singer who gets right to the heart of what traditional music is all about. His refreshingly open, expressive and engaging approach places a spotlight on human stories, while his flawless guitar arrangements allow each song the chance to shine. Taking inspiration from the likes of Nic Jones and Martin Carthy, he delivers a sound that appears stripped back and effortless, yet brimming with hidden complexities.
Having honed his craft playing with BBC Radio 2 Folk Award nominees Granny’s Attic for over a decade, George has come into his own as a singer, musician and composer. His solo work is an opportunity to further develop his distinctive voice and pursue new creative directions. His critically acclaimed self-titled debut solo album was listed as one of Songlines magazine’s “Essential 10 Folk Albums of 2020”.
