For more than fifteen years, Sunjay has quietly built a reputation as one of the UK's most accomplished live performers. A former BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award finalist, he has shared stages with Steeleye Span, Fairport Convention, Curved Air, Mud Morganfield amongst others, while developing a loyal audience throughout the UK and Europe.
Fresh from a successful UK tour, international appearances in the Czech Republic and Germany, and BBC Radio 2 support, Sunjay returns with his biggest, boldest and most sonically adventurous record to date.
‘Split The Sheets’ is an album about love. The excitement of new beginnings, the thrill of attraction, commitment, devotion, jealousy, heartbreak, humour, lust, regret, longing and loss. The light and the shade.
For fourteen songs, Sunjay explores every corner of the human experience through material written by some of the greatest songwriters of the last seventy years, including Stephen Bruton, Chris Smither, TownesVan Zandt, Jimmy Reed, Stan Rogers, Buddy Holly, Bo Diddley and Lyle Lovett.
The first single, ‘Take Out Some Insurance’ (the Jimmy Reed classic), earned support from BBC Radio 2 and led to an invitation to appear in-studio on Cerys Matthews' Blues Show.
Drawing from a rich, musical, and cultural background it is hardly surprising that Sunjay has quickly become
recognised as one of the UK’s rising stars. His performances have been described as “mature and confident,”
while his guitar playing has been hailed as, “superb, brilliant, experienced, intricate and faultless.” Sunjay’s
style has that natural drift between folk and blues.
"One of the best young pickers and singers around."
– Mike Harding, BBC Radio 2
“One of the UK's finest young Blues stars.”
– Iain Anderson, BBC Radio Scotland
“A very accomplished and dynamic guitarist, with a mature
stage presence and echoes of a young Ralph McTell.”
– RNR Magazine
