On Saturday 10th December Sarah played at Lucy and Michael's wedding in the afternoon during the reception. She played a mixture of covers and originals accompanied by Jason on percussion. The music was very well reviewed by the bridal party and the wedding guests and it was a joy to help the happy couple celebrate their big day.

In the evening, Sarah played to a packed concert hall of about 600 people as part of the joint Manchester CU carol service. She sang a rendition of 'In the Bleak Midwinter', backed by the RNCM concert orchestra and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. To hear a snippet of the performance, click here

The following day, on the Sunday, Sarah took part in the St Clement's carol service which was a lovely way to round off her Christmas singing season!

On the 25th November, Sarah was really excited to have been invited to play at the White Ribbon Festival.

The event was to raise awareness and funds for Men Against Violence, particularly relating to domestic abuse involving women and trafficking. Sarah was part of a strong line-up, including a former Britain's Got Talent semi-finalist, and was able to showcase some of her original music alongside some of her well-known covers.

She sold 10 CDs during the night and donated half of the proceeds to the White Ribbon charity to help fund their future work.

On the 14th November Sarah was asked by her friends Andy and Libby to play at their wedding. She played 3 original songs during the signing of the register and also sang a cover of "All Of Me" during the first dance at the reception.

It was a lovely day to be a part of and Sarah wishes all the best to Andy and Libby in their future together!

Thank you to everyone who came on Friday 5th September to support Sarah and the band as they launched the new album, titled Freefall, with an hour long concert. They played a mixture of album songs, EP songs and new songs, all written and arranged by Sarah, after which the album was available for the first time!

Sarah also used the event as an opportunity to support the work of CAP (Christians Against Poverty) and raised over £70 through donations and drinks sales.

Freefall is available to order online now.

Happy listening everyone!

Sarah was back in the studio at The Grand on Monday 23rd June to record the vocals and backing vocals for the upcoming album. Once again, it was a long day of recording but everything ran smoothly and it's now time for the mixing and post production to begin!

The album artwork selection process is also getting underway and the aim is to release the album early autumn so it won't be too long now before it's available to pre order!

The recording process for the album has now begun! Sarah and the band were in The Grand studio from the evening of Friday 6th June right through to the evening of Sunday 8th June. They managed to get through all ten tracks on the Saturday, putting in long hours so that they were able to lay down some acoustic and electric guitar tracks on the Sunday, as well as adding a couple of novelty sounds like ukelele and tambourine!

Sarah is due to go back into the studio in a couple of weeks to lay down the vocal tracks so everything seems to be moving along smoothly now - hopefully it won't be too long before the finished product is available to order!

On Monday 2nd June 2014 Sarah was interviewed live on BBC Radio Lancashire by Paul O'Gorman about the song she was commissioned to write for the World War 1 project in South Ribble.

The project is focussing on the affect of World War 1 on South Ribble and the surrounding areas and will feature a variety of multimedia and music written and collated by local talent.

The song is called 'Come Home Safe' and is now available for download on SoundCloud. It is also being performed live at St Andrew's Church on the evening of Friday 13th June when the WW1 project is launched.
