About Me

'It was singer Sarah Hoblyn and her players who stole the show though...She exudes charm and charisma on stage, her warm and playful persona drawn from the songs she sings and her close identification with the rhythms and lyrics.She opened with a powerful rendition of Let the Good Times Roll...then demonstrated her voice's range and versatility, delivering subtle and imaginative renditions of old favourites...'Oxford Daily Info
