Sarah McQuaid: Guestbook

Jan Baker

December 17, 2011

Your VIA concert in Manaton went down really well, lots of praise expressed by audience. Intelligent and poignant writing that I really related to and many have remarked on your warm and open personality which really came across in the performance. Good sound too, Martin! We enjoyed your company and hope that Sarah is enjoying a great family Christmas time and that Martin will find time to enjoy his between panto performances!

Adam Sargant

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Sarah and Martin for a great gig at West Lane Baptist Centre on the 25th November 2011. The comparisons with singers like Sandy Denny and the description of a voice like "mature Cognac" are well deserved, and your company after the gig was very enjoyable... even if smurf did get overly drunk and fall over after threatening everyone with an olive fork :-) And the feedback I have had from the DADGAD workshop attendees has been wonderful (one guy is apparently sitting on a ferry in Cork playing hornpipes in DADGAD tuning as I type and tells me that his confidence has come on no end:-) )

Sarah was with us on Sunday 27th November creating what was an incredibly intimate and beautiful evening. The Studio Lounge here at Totnes FM was set up for gigs like this and Sarah's wonderful set had a packed house entranced from the start. She even got them singing, which is a first for us!
So thank you, thank you Sarah. We can't wait to have you back next Autumn.
Oh,and a special thanks must also go to Martin, who's expert work on the sound desk really contributed to an incredibly special evening.
See you soon,
David, Totnes FM

Well done for a great gig Sarah. The whole experience was a delight. We do hope you both will be back. (Give my regards to Flossie when you gig together!)

It was great to see you at Leith FC (as always!) A beautiful performance by my favourite pagan goddess, and I'm looking forward to seeing you again next year. All the best to Martin, who did a grand job on the sound. Jim

Really enjoyed your performance last night at Haddington Folk Club, Sarah. What was great was the variety of your material and your amazing delivery of it. And how you keep so fresh after your long time on the road. So glad I bought your CD - so much interesting stuff to read on the insert. Good luck!

Sarah

You certainly 'Wowed' the crowd at Gregson Lane Folk Club. I don't think that anyone, who was there, will ever forget that wonderful evening especially your fabulous songs and endearing smile.

Good luck with the rest of the tour.

Graham.

Thanks Sarah for a really lovely evening. "The first time ever I saw your face" was outstanding. Thanks too to Martin for the really sympathetic sound quality. We had lots of positive feedback. Enjoy the rest of your tour.

Thank you, Sarah, for appearing at Hall for Cornwall at our first Platform performance. It was a treat for all of us. You have such a lovely voice and those hear-a-pin-drop moments were magical. I love when somebody does that!

Greg Phillips

October 29, 2011

We so enjoyed your concert here at frogstop October 16. And you and Martin were such wonderful overnight guests! We've never had a guest artist more thoughtful than you. Best of luck with the rest of this year's tour!

Dear Sarah
I'm very impressed by your performances on youtube especially when you sing unaccompanied. You play well but I prefer the time and spaces you give the songs acapella. I'm from England and am a lifelong lover of traditional songs.

Stephen Eric Berry

September 26, 2011

Wonderful show in Three Rivers. Certainly the finest all-acoustic performance I have ever attended. Haunting vocals, songs you hear in your head waking up days later. Seemingly effortless performances that nail you to your seat. Anyone in webshot of this comment should check Sarah's tour schedule and get to the show!

Many, many thanks Sarah for coming to Scawby Village Hall last week everyone enjoyed the performance very much indeed. You are a lovely warm person with a beautiful voice and I personally hope to see you again one day. Also thanks to Martin for making the show such a success. Several people have stopped me in the village to say how much they enjoyed your singing and playing and I am proud to have played my part in bringing you to Scawby. Very best wishes from Rosemary

Sarah,

It's never too late to say thank you for the wonderful performance you gave at Chasham: Tudor Folk Club in October. You have made a lasting impression on me, my friend Margaret said she thought you were amazing also. Thank you for letting us sit at the front that night. You have a natural talent in what you do and so modest and sincere, you will go far. All the best and I hope to see you again in the future.

Sarah, an alternative venue that would get you some exposure in the area could be the Black Swamp Feastival in Bowling Green Ohio. It is very near the campus of the large Bowling Green State University and the festival features art as well as nationally known musical artists of many genres, just a thought. It is held around late August, Labor Day.

I found you while I was surfin'; a beautiful heartfelt sound! Come to Ann Arbor Michigan if you get the chance, The Ark maybe.

I sit here listening to your work and wonder how I did not come across you before now. Anyway it is always welcome to have something new and wonderful enter your life.
You are a fine artist and I wish you all the luck in the world.

Saw you at Weobley Sarah - absolutely wonderful again! From the moment you started the a capella "Wondrous Love", I was absolutely spellbound. Can't wait to get your next CD - "Plum tree and the Rose" sounded fabulous.

Kevin Stapleton

March 9, 2010

Hi Sarah. I attented your Great Bend show with my wife, and needless to say, we were both very impressed. You are a very talented lady and your concert was very enjoyable. We both thought that the way you had the audience participate on so many songs was a breath of fresh air compared to an average concert. We hope to attend a future concert and hopefully next time I will have the courage to join you in singing your Canon! Thanks for sharing your talent with us! Good luck to you in all your future endeavors.

I was checking your calendar and was disappointed that no dates for Florida for your 2010 tour of US. I am co-host/DJ-Programmer for (WMNF 88.5 Community Radio Tampa) Music Of The Isles (Celtic Show). I have your first CD and if you go to our website (www.wmng.org) you can check playlists to see that I enjoy playing your music. Again, it's very disappointing that you will not be in Florida as it would be wonderful for the Tampa audience if you could come down to the station. Perhaps some future tour this could happen.

Dear Sarah

I have been thinking about Saturday 16 May’s DADGAD workshop at the Hibernia Centre, Avonmouth and looking through your Irish DADGAD Guitar Book again. I thought I'd add some feedback in your Guest Book. I really enjoyed your workshop and I liked the way you made sure there was something for everyone. Each one of us had come along with widely different expectations and experience but you overcame this by adapting to the way the flow was going.

As someone who has dabbled in open tunings, including DADGAD, for 35 years without really knowing what I was doing I certainly got a lot out of the session, which was also my first “guitar lesson”!

For me it was useful to have read your Irish DADGAD Guitar Book beforehand but this was by no means a necessary requirement for a participant to benefit from the workshop. I liked too the impromptu illustrations using guitar parts taken from songs and instrumentals on your CDs. Your insight into chord structures and scales cast a new light on the reason why an open tuning like DADGAD works, in contrast to my previous hit-and-miss, limited attempts at picking out chords that sound nice.

I’m sure I speak for other participants when I give a big thank you for an excellent workshop, which I would recommend to any guitarist.

All the best, Adrian

Hello Sarah,

I've watched all the videos on your site that I've been able to sneak in while I was supposed to be working. Can't wait for you to be in the southeastern U.S. next year!

Wonderful gig in Listowel, Wednesday: best I've heard in a very long time. And great to meet up in 3D at last.

Paul de Grae

April 16, 2009

Wonderful gig in Listowel last night: even better than the CDs, which is saying something. And great to meet up at last in 3D.

Adrian Vranch

April 12, 2009

Hi Sarah... I have only just discovered you and your music. Yes I'm a bit slow... and what a lot I have been missing! Expensive discovery though; I have ordered your DADGAD book and both CD albums. I know DADGAD well but I'm now converted to open C. My playing style is more than a bit like yours - I think. I do hope to come to your gig in Scorriton if I can escape from the Plymouth Jazz and Blues Festival that night. Keep up the good work!

James mccormick

April 8, 2009

Hello Sarah heard you on radio Ulster, it is great to hear a singer like yourself call for people to join her on stage,

as you are in N/Ireland you should visit Mountstwart in Newtownards, I work and live there and would be happy to show you around.
I work for the Lady Bury who's family home this is not the NT's,

have you ever played at a place could the burn in the south east of England, as a friend also could Sara her and her husbond both lost their jobs, to all this madness, she is a very good singer, she give up singing when she was told she could sing but was not prity enough to make it, has put a gruop togather could {Truly Acoustic} and is playing their at the end off the month doing an ABBA night...

if you ever need a backing in that part of England let me know and I will pass it on, Sara is building a website it is not yet working but will be soon

Philippa and Helen Ryder

April 4, 2009

Hi Sarah, we thoroughly enjoyed your concert in the Unitarian Church tonight. I (Philippa) was reminded at times of the wonderful voice of Joan Armatrading but there's so much more to you than that! Great lyrics and you brought tears to our eyes with your 'Last Song'. Thank you so much.

Philippa and Helen

Hi Sarah,
you did a gig recently with Niamh Parsons and my wonderful big brother Graham Dunne in the Seamus Ennis Centre in Dublin. I was wondering if you had any photos of this to go up onto your website???
It was truely wonderful evening and three of you sounded so greaceful together. Both your own and Grahams guitar palying just blended so seemlessly together, it was fantastic!!!

Great gig last nite in Richhill. Leah was suppoting you. Your voice and guitar sound was amazing. The Last Song was my favourite as it related to me and Leah as my mother died weeks after Leah wsa born and never got to hold her so there was a few tears shed. Music is Leah's life and she has overcome a lot in her short life and it has been her saviour. I emailed Andy Manson someday I hope Leah will be able to purchase a guitar from him. I was glad she did her own stuff as she usually plays covers. Pity there weren't more people there to appreciate you maybe when you are next in the area Leah can support you and there will a much bigger audience. I was telling my fellow workers at St Patrick's Grammar Schol in Armagh all about you so hopefully they will buy your album I intend to get all three hadn't enough money with me last nite as Leah got the book which will be so useful to her. Thanks once again for the great nite

Hi Sarah,

I'm so excited to see that you will be coming to The Netherlands again! Something to look forward to, but crikey for us Dutch folks (not used to distances) it's a long drive. Still, we'll be there, in Sevenum, where-ever that is!
Also good to see that you've teamed up with another creative lady! Can't wait to hear the results.
Do you think there's any chance of you visiting us in Hellevoetsluis any time soon? They're still talking about your performace you know!
Do try! I'll lobby for you with De Twee Hondjes!

Kind regards,

Renee Koopman

Damian Walmsley

Hi Sarah,
My parents saw you at a small gig in Ireland a couple of weeks or so ago. They bought me your album 'When two lovers meet' and it's brilliant. Congratulations! My dad bought you as cup of tea at the interval. When they got back I took them to see Show of Hands (who they loved too) and they were full of how much they'd enjoyed your gig. Having heard the album I can understand why. Look forward to attending a gig myself.

Renee

March 25, 2008

Hi Sarah,
Have heard you in Hellevoetsluis and was completely bowled over...you've made an already good concert an amazing one. Your CD has been in my CD player permanently since then, and I can't wait to hear the new one. Please make it available in The Netherlands too!

hans willemse

heb je net in hellevoetsluis ontmoet.Je hebt een geweldig zuivere krachtige stem.En je maakt mooie muziek.Hoopje een andere keer nog eens te mogen ontmoeten.

Paul de Grae

February 28, 2008

Thanks for sharing the performance clips: what a gorgeous guitar, no wonder you're delighted with it. But what prompted me to write was the singing, which has gone to a whole 'nother level. Seriously, you have now joined the very short list of people I would stand in the snow to hear singing the phone book (not that any of ye would be so daft as to do such a thing). Of course this presents you with a new "problem": if the songs sound so good unaccompanied, why play guitar at all? Well, I'll trust you to figure that one out.

February 9, 2008

Just to thank you for an excellent concert - the first of your Scottish Tour - in Strachur on Friday evening. The atmosphere was really great and you very quickly established a close rapport with the small but appreciative audience. The informal chat during the interval was great. The Manson sounded great too!

Sarah,
What happened in "De Fookhook" last Sunday was pure magic !!. We are running our folkclub 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 a intimate athmosphere with your stories, songs and guitar playing and make the audience part of the gig. Thank you so much for that....and we'll stay in touch!!

Comparisons with the great June Tabor are complements. Consider June as the closest metaphor one can find to express your extraordinary voice and phrasing.
We miss you in Dublin. Have you considered the Pavilion, the Mermaid, the Civic.the John Field Room...Honor Heffernan has been there (fruitfully) as has Fionnual Monks and Derby Brown.
Wishing you continued radiant flourishin in your lovely career.

What a surprise to find freshness for my ears. I have listened to Pierre play first mandolin and then DADGAD since (Paris) 1972. I marvel at how smoothly you bar the fretted stretcher of strings. Now we say, a pretty girl proves herself upon the wood and wire. I will listen to you in Navan. Your voice brings no pain only sadness.

April 5, 2007

My wife and I are on Holiday in Dublin. We turned on RTE One TV and saw Sarah perform "When Two Lovers Meet". Well it sent a sonic arrow right through my heart and was one of the most beautiful things I've heard in a long while. Just downloaded the album. Thanks for making this wonderful music! -Jim Cowgill www.sequenox.com
