Barker & Fleetwood

Two of the country’s finest contemporary and traditional singer/songwriters in a new and captivating musical partnership between two friends brought together by their love of writing and performance. Sally Barker & Marion Fleetwood boast an impeccable pedigree within the genre of acoustic music.
As a solo artist, Sally Barker has toured with the likes of Bob Dylan, Robert Plant and Sir Tom Jones among many other respected artists. She was a member of the influential all female folk ensemble The Poozies and found brief celebrity when she appeared on The Voice UK 2014, which culminated in Sally being Tom Jones’ finalist that year and her 2020 reworking of Sir Tom’s ‘Its Not Unusual’ has had 6 million views.
Multi-instrumentalist Marion Fleetwood is a stalwart of the magnificent Feast of Fiddles, a founder member of TRADarrr, Fleetwood Cave and an integral member of the Reg Meuross Woody Guthrie project ‘Fire & Dust’. Marion sings, plays guitar, violin, cello and is a classically trained player with a performance background which also includes jazz and folk.
These two powerful voices met in the trio IOTA, continued their musical journey in the Sandy Denny Project and now cement their liason with their duo project !
