PATAKAS
Joe & Will Sartin: These exceptionally talented brothers are a refined and dynamic duo combining Joe’s expressive voice and masterful guitar work alongside Will’s agile and intricate mandolin playing. Drawing on both traditional material and their own growing catalogue of original songs and tunes. They launched their first recording ‘When You’re Ready’ with festival performances in summer 2023. Bringing driving rhythms and innovative harmony to their fresh interpretations of traditional music and their own original tunes and songs, the brothers beautifully and skilfully express the music-making and folk tradition that runs through the very core of their family.
