Sally Barker is a singer’s singer and a songwriter’s songwriter. You will remember the very first time you heard her sing for her voice is like no other. She has the ability to lift the words off the page and can move people to tears armed with that ‘bucket-full of soul’ voice. As a singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer Sally has had a long, varied and successful career in music, and, though often labeled a folk artist, her appeal stretches across many more musical genres. A much respected solo artist with half a dozen solo albums to her name, Sally is also celebrated for her live and studio work fronting all-female folk supergroup, The Poozies. In 2014 she achieved national celebrity when she was a finalist in the BBC One talent contest, The Voice, finishing a respectable joint second place, and memorably moving judge Sir Tom Jones to tears with her rendition of Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood. Sally has, in addition, supported many of the all time music greats including Bob Dylan and Robert Plant.
