Born in Madrid and raised in Chicago, Sarah McQuaid recently moved to Cornwall after living in Ireland for 14 years. Her music draws on the traditions of Ireland, America and the UK, and is sublime and compelling, characterised by warm, velvety vocals and a distinctive acoustic guitar style. In 2007 she re-released her album ‘When Two Lovers Meet’ to critical acclaim. She has recorded a new album, provisionally titled ‘I Won’t Go Home ‘til Morning’ which is due for release in 2008. Sarah is also the author of a highly regarded guitar tutor - The Irish DADGAD Guitar Book.
What other people say about Sarah:
Sarah’s voice is both as warm as a turf fire and as rich as matured cognac . An astonishing debut by a unique talent.”
The Rough Guide To Irish Music
“Sarah McQuaid’s debut album offers a master class in restraint and subtlety. Authoritative singing and quietly insistent arrangements make for a sumptuous whole”
fRoots
“Boy, hasn’t Sarah got a good voice, rich, deep, mature . One for a romantic evening in, listen to it with a hot whiskey and a peat fire, heaven!”
Irish Music Magazine
“Pure magic!! We are running our folk club for 16 years now but I never experienced such a thrilling interaction between artist and audience who rewarded you with three encores!! You have the ability to create an intimate atmosphere with your stories, songs and guitar playing and make the audience part of the gig.”
Piet Snellen, De Fookhook, Sevenum, Netherlands
