“Her voice has all the qualities that you find in the great singers"

Guy Barker

Sara is a regular performer at Ronnie Scotts  and the 606 Club and enjoyed a sold out concert in our 2019 Jazz Divas Series at The Pheasantry singing the music of Judy Garland.  

She is recognised for her interpretations of classic ballads, leaving audiences spell bound, as well as the energy and vigour with which she tackles the up tempo standards from the American Song Book.  

Her distinctive voice owes much to her Irish father and Lebanese mother,  surrounded by the  records of her father's jazz collection and the chant like voices of Lebanese singers. Sara's album From Shadows Into Light received a five star review from Jazz Journal.  

She arrives at The Pheasantry with her outstanding trio of the in demand and much revered Ross Stanley– piano, Dario Di Lecce – double bass and regular British Jazz Awards Best Drummer  Steve Brown.
