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

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.

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!

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.

came in from the cold in Lossiemouth last night and left with warm glow which had nothing to do with the peat fire. Keep up the fine fine work & hopefully see you come back to us soon.

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!

Thanks for your kind remarks. It's always a valued honor for me to provide artists of your calibre with the necessary tool. It was inspiring and informative to the work seeing and hearing you at the Phoenix in Exeter.
Can't wait to experience your music with the new instrument............
Best wishes

Folkclub De Fookhook - Sevenum -The Netherlands
13 January 2008
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.

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

Very impressive stuff. I knew about the guitar playing but had somehow missed out on the wonderful singing until now. Great production too. Best of luck, Paul de Grae.

Janet (wife) and our three cats love Irish music and DADGAD. I play the guitar in DADGAD and everyone gets calmed. We would like to see you play/sing in person. Your voice reminds us of the late Eithne Ni Uallachain of La Lugh.
All good wishes

It was nice to read all about you in your bio. I was born in Trail BC Canada 1931 and then returned to Donegal with my parents in 1933. I came to Canada in 1953 by myself and have been here since. I have a Donegal accent but with the passage of time I have lost all my mother language. I am trying to get your DADGAD book with the CD but it seems very scarce on this side of the Atlantic. That is all for now.
I remain,
Yours truly,
Jim Bracegirdle.
