Biography

Sarah first came to people's attention in the folk clubs of South Yorkshire in the mid 1990's playing a mixture of covers and her own songs. She dropped the covers, moved to Birmingham and formed a duo with Lorna Bryant which quickly became one of the Midland's premier acts. They released a CD entitled Desire which featured twelve of Sarah's songs in June 1998 to much critical acclaim. Ric Sanders of Fairport Convention heard it and liked the music so much that he turned up at one of their gigs and played fiddle with them!

Sarah has since released two further albums; Freedom with her band TALA and First Person Plural. Her songwriting and guitar work often attract comments as you'll see below.

Sarah is available as a solo artist or with her long standing musical partner Duncan Gibbs. Whichever way you have her, you are sure of an evening of top class songs, fine guitar playing and fun which will leave your audience wanting more.
