Sarah's creative career is founded on years of collaboration and a deep passion for the environment.
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.
Currently Sarah 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 a show that explores human relationships with nature, climate change and sense of place through music, poetry and spoken word, stitched together by cello-driven sound-scapes.
Sarah's love of collaboration continues with her work alongside environmental organisations, creating online content for their campaigns, such as Greenpeace and Yorkshire Peat Partnership.
