Patakas (Will and Joe Sartin)

 

Exceptionally accomplished brothers Joe and Will Sartin, performing as Patakas (pronounced pa : ta : kus), are a refined acoustic duo making their mark on the folk scene.

With Joe’s rich voice and guitar alongside Will’s intricate mandolin, they bring maturity, skill, and deep-rooted tradition to both traditional material and original tunes, delivering performances that are authentic and timeless.

Their debut EP "When You’re Ready" (Wild Goose Records) was made during the 6 months after their well-loved father and esteemed folk musician, Paul Sartin, passed away. With Joe's sublime voice and guitar playing and Will's dexterous mandolin, the brothers beautifully and skilfully express the music-making and folk tradition that run through the very core of their family./p>

Virtuoso musicianship meets crowd-pleasing tunes and storytelling. An old time feel that is timeless and heart-grabbing in it's relevance today.

"Will and Joe Sartin share more than a striking physical resemblance to their esteemed father, Paul. Both are exceptionally talented musicians. Joe is already showing himself to be a confident, beautiful singer with a strong traditional repertoire that owes much to his upbringing. Will is an incredibly dexterous mandolin player with the superb ceilidh band, Out of Hand."Tradfolk
