Sarah's creative career is founded on years of collaboration and a deep passion for the environment.
Her latest single, Atlas, was released in collaboration with Yorkshire Wildlife Trust to raise awareness of Yorkshire's peat bogs, and their importance for combatting the effects of climate change. The music video, filmed up on her beloved Yorkshire Dales moorland, has received outstanding press from BBC Look North, BBC Radio 2 - ("deeply lovely" / Mark Radcliffe) , the IUCN, and was shown at COP26 in Glasgow.
Currently Sarah also performs her solo show, 'Eyjar', inspired by a musical journey over land and sea to Iceland by boat, via Orkney, Shetland and The Faroes. The journey was made alongside singer Sophie Ramsay, with whom she played concerts on each island. They travelled intentionally slowly, so that each island had time to make an impression, for the sounds of the birds and their local dialect names to sink in, and for collaborations with local musicians to take place. These experiences have culminated in an entrancing solo show that explores human relationships with nature, climate change and sense of place through music, poetry and spoken word, stitched together by looped cello sound-scapes.
Sarah's love of collaboration continues with her work alongside environmental organisations, creating musical content for their campaigns, such as Greenpeace, Lancaster University's 'Ensemble' project, and more.
With over a decade of working with other musicians, Sarah has gained a reputation for her unique cello playing and arrangements, with an ear for vocal harmonies and improvisation. She has appeared on dozens of critically acclaimed albums
in the folk and roots scene, as well as touring internationally with renowned and established artists such as Michael Chapman, Gren Bartley, The Mediaeval Baebes, Rosie Doonan, Bridget St. John, Jess Morgan, King Creosote, The Magpies, and many more.
Notable festival appearances include Folk Alliance International, Primavera Sound, Green Man, Cambridge, Larmer Tree, Colonsay and Greenbelt.
Sarah's solo performances are imbued with visceral story-telling, bristling with atmosphere created with looped cello, haunting melodies and deeply felt lyrics.
Audience members are left feeling transported and mesmerised, with sounds and rhythms that are never too far from the sea.
