One year into the pandemic and I hope we’re all hanging onto our sanity, staying healthy and perhaps feeling a little more optimistic now that spring has sprung.
Once again, the lovely supportive people at Bandcamp are waiving their commission this Friday. This time I’ve decided to make available some very special 7” vinyl from my stock of gig merch, as there’s still no confirmed live work in the diary.
In 2019 I had the great pleasure of being the featured artist on a collaboration with the cutting edge UK nujazz act, Ishmael Ensemble on their release, The River. Pete Cunningham, the creative force behind the band, was kind enough to donate 17 copies to me, which I will sign and sell on Bandcamp this weekend.

They all seem to have fun playing together and playing Sarah's songs. The best thing about it, it's fun to listen too. And amazing to explore the different sounding keys as much as the musical twists included by all of them. freejazzy
Written collectively by 40 different working musicians during the pandemic, this is a jazzy, soulful effort with a lot of heart. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 30, 2020
