Join us to listen to this exciting band who will produce the sounds you’d hear at a New Orleans Revival style gig.

Sarah started playing clarinet at the age of 8 and tenor sax at 15, later taking up the baritone and soprano saxophones and bass clarinet. She started playing on the British traditional jazz scene at 18; was the youngest visitor to play in Preservation Hall, New Orleans, at 19. She formed the first of her own bands at 20.

Sarah moved to America. Since then, she has made numerous guest appearances around the world, recorded several compact discs, and appeared at festivals around the world, including playing at the Purcell Room of the Royal Festival Hall in London. On one tour, she co-led an all-star band from the U.S. and Great Britain — including George Probert, Clint Baker and 'Tuba Fats' Lacen — which thrilled audiences at every concert and the high points of which were the saxophone 'battles' between Sarah and George.

The Sax and Bone Band is a different project for Sarah and an exciting band who will produce the sounds you’d hear at a New Orleans Revival style gig.

Sarah highlights a two-reed front line with no trumpet and has one of the best exponents of this style with Mike Owen on trombone.
