From the moment Eve grabbed the fateful apple independent women have wreaked havoc. And why not? Sarah Moule busts open the age old myth of the femme fatale weaving songs and stories over Simon Wallace’s evocative arrangements which draw on the language of Duke Ellington, Bill Evans and New Orleans second line.

Sarah’s 5th album, Stormy Emotions, was released in 2021 to stellar reviews on both sides of the Atlantic and featured in 4 Best Of 2021 critic’s lists. She has introduced 45 songs by Simon and legendary jazz lyricist Fran Landesman. Sarah spent six years as featured vocalist with the John Wilson Orchestra and has performed with jazz luminaries Norma Winstone, Duncan Lamont Snr and Ian Shaw.

Aside from his prolific composing career in TV and theatre, and his 18 year collaboration with Fran Landesman Simon has toured internationally with amongst others: The Lindsay Kemp Company, Imelda Staunton, Clare Teal, Ian Shaw and Barb Jungr.
