Hannah Sanders & Ben Savage
Making their Wickham Festival debut on Thursday 30th July, Hannah Sanders & Ben Savage are one of the most captivating duos on the contemporary folk scene. Known for their vintage guitars, exquisite harmony vocals and intimate single-microphone performances, they create live shows that are both deeply moving and wonderfully atmospheric.
Since joining forces in 2016, Hannah and Ben have forged a distinctive sound that blends English folk traditions with Americana influences, combining timeless storytelling with modern songwriting. Their natural chemistry, effortless musicianship and heartfelt performances have earned them widespread acclaim from audiences and critics alike.
Hannah’s pure, expressive vocals perfectly complement Ben’s inventive and highly individual guitar style, creating a musical partnership that is both elegant and compelling. Their ability to connect with listeners through authentic, live performance remains at the heart of everything they do.
Their 2022 Topic Records release, Ink Of The Rosy Morning, reached No. 3 in the Official UK Folk Album Chart and was named one of the year’s standout folk albums by MOJO magazine. Following tours with their band and collaborations with folk-rock pioneers Fairport Convention, the duo returned to the stripped-back single-microphone format that first established their reputation.
In autumn 2025, Hannah Sanders & Ben Savage released their fifth studio album, The Strangers’ Share, an evocative collection inspired by dreams, folklore and the supernatural. Expect an unforgettable performance filled with rich harmonies, masterful musicianship and spellbinding songs.
