Following the success of his Winter Yards Band tour, Steve Knightley is delighted to announce Sanctuary - Songs from Sacred Spaces.
Known for his songs of history and location , Steve will create an evening of material beautifully matched to these resonant venues - churches, chapels and ancient buildings chosen for their atmosphere and acoustic warmth.
The concerts will also feature Dan Salvatore, who's haunting handpan soundscapes add a meditative, ambient dimension to the evening. Expect stripped-back arrangements, strong storytelling, and a focus on the relationship between song, space, and listener.
