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.
Her deliciously earthy voice delivers a powerful emotional punch that’s matched by her distinctive, eloquent guitar style.
Add this to a real rapport with her audience, and you have all the ingredients of a great night out.
