Myspace Backgrounds
Jayne Sarah started performing in 2006, initially accompanied by Gerry Sullivan on guitar. The duo performed at numerous folk clubs in Scotland along with an opening spot for Rallion at the Star Folk Club in February 2007. Jayne also supported Old Blind Dogs in Comrie in December 2006, accompanied by John Milne. In April 2007, Jayne and Gerry were joined by guitarist/bouzouki player Stevie Lawrence and the trio have since appeared as guest artists at Stonehaven, Glenfarg and Denholm Folk Clubs, with a performance at Stonehaven's 21st Anniversary party in March 2008 supporting the Fisher Family.
Jayne’s repertoire has grown to become a balanced selection of songs with interpretations of material by songwriter’s such as Beth Neilson Chapman, Natalie Merchant and Kristina Olsen, plus a new slant on traditional arrangements and a showcase of her own original songs. Jayne Sarah offers an emotional performance covering a range of styles. She performs either unaccompanied; with tasteful backing and arrangements from Gerry and Stevie; or by accompanying herself on the piano.
Other highlights of her developing career include performing with Kristina Olsen on the main stage of Stonehaven Folk Festival 2007, performing at Innerleithan Folk Festival as well as recording harmony vocals on singer songwriter Stan Graham's highly acclaimed recent release 'Along the Way'. Jayne has also been involved in media recordings and has recorded with singer/songwriters, Craig Jeffrey and Duncan McCrone.
Jayne Sarah released her debut album 'Perfectly Impossible' in October 2008 and will be going on a backpacking tour around the world for 8 months from November 2008 until July 2008 to promote it.
