"Renowned for her warm, engaging stage presence, Sarah McQuaid is a versatile and beguiling performer. In addition to her own elegantly crafted originals, she interprets traditional Irish and Appalachian folk songs, Elizabethan ballads, 1930s jazz numbers, surprise covers and lively guitar instrumentals with panache and poignance."

For anyone in the London area we have Sarah McQuaid at Camden's Green Note next Monday - full details and tickets available from www.folkonmonday.co.uk
