In 2019, our singer Sarah's mother suffered a serious stroke and   In April 2026, Sarah released an album on Expansion Records entitled ‘For The Love Of It’.  It includes original songs specially written for Sarah by the producers Preston Glass and Joe Mandica in LA, and great newly recorded material written by such legends as Thom Bell, Maurice White & Edwin Starr. On two songs Sarah duets with Pauli Carman (of Champaign fame) and Ron Tyson (of The Temptations fame). Sarah said “I would never have ever thought that I would be given the opportunity to work with some of the music industry greats on my very own album. Definitely a pinch me moment!” The album is available for digital download at Expansion Records and CDs will soon be available to buy.”

Sarah recently teamed up with DJ Rory Hoy to record and release a song called 'Take All Your Lovin’ And Run'. It raced to the top of the Juno Download Soul Charts. The track won early support from Craig Charles on his BBC6 Afternoon and Funk & Soul shows and from a number of internationally well-known musicians and DJs including Ruby Turner and Afrika Bambaata. You can listen to it here.  BBC's Look North featured interviews with Rory and Sarah about their music which you can watch here.

Last year, Sarah was nominated by her husband to become the Unexpected Star on the BBC's Michael MacIntyre’s Big Show. She was in a country music bar in London and was sitting on a rodeo bull when the wall collapsed to reveal a studio audience of 2,000. She gave an emotional performance of "How Do I Live" and was thunderstruck when she was joined on stage by LeAnn Rimes, who had a worldwide hit with the song. Watch the show here.

In 2012, Sarah was rushed to hospital where doctors found a tumour almost half the size of her brain. The road to recovery was long, and doctors suggested using music as a therapy.  Her parents gave her their vinyl collection and Sarah immersed herself in the songs of the 60s and 70s, singing along with them to help recover her speech. In June 2014 her Dad suggested she might like to upload to YouTube a video of her singing to a backing track. "In no time at all," Sarah says. "Word spread and people contacted me asking why they hadn't heard of me before and suggesting songs for me to cover."  She's been uploading videos regularly ever since. Today her channel has nearly 50,000 subscribers and over 21 million views of the more than 1300 videos she has uploaded.  You can find it here.
