Sarah Mitchell - Live Jazz
Just in case you missed Sarah's stunning performance in March we have managed to get her back, so that you can see for yourselves what all the fuss was about. For those of you who we're lucky enough to see her debut performance at Great Northern Wine, why not indulge yourselves once more?
Sarah and the band we're blown away by the audence and i think the feeling was mutual, she really is a tour de force and it's only a matter of time before she hits the big time (and tickets prices really go through the roof).
“A distinctive voice, a nice sense of phrasing and an instinctive feel for the songs she sings…Alan Bates has signed a star” – Sir Michael Parkinson
Tickets are £5.00 and must be booked in advance, call 01765 606 767 or email info@greatnorthernwine.co.uk.
Doors @ 7.00pm for 8.00pm performance.
