Sanctuary – Daniel Salvatore & Steve Knightley – Songs from Sacred Space: A Concert in Aid of St Nicholas Priory

Sanctuary is a unique collaboration between acclaimed singer-songwriter Steve Knightley and handpan player Daniel Salvatore. Born from a chance meeting on Sidmouth seafront, the project has evolved into a captivating concert set in churches and ancient spaces, where songs, spoken word and evocative instrumental music combine to create an unforgettable atmosphere. Daniel’s handpan brings a new dimension to Steve’s songs, while the remarkable acoustics of these sacred buildings become part of the performance itself. The show has received rave reviews and inspired the live album Sanctuary, recorded at the sold-out concert in St Mary’s Church, Totnes

Doors at 5:30pm for 6pm start
