MUSICAL FAMILY...
Sarah's parents are both musical, and her brother is a DJ, who also gigs in Spain & Gibraltar (DJ ZOO$H), and so music is in her blood. Whenever her father (ex-BBC Sound Engineer, Manchester) comes over to visit, he always loves to join in, and if he is not accompanying Sarah on Bass, Guitar or Mandolin at one or more of her gigs, then they will probably be playing traditional Irish folk music as their family trio!
Sarah's father, David Howard, has also recorded more than one of Sarah's CDs in his professional studio, & also appears on many of her songs on Mandolin, bass or guitar. During 2013 Sarah hopes to be playing with her funky band again, as well as adding more tracks and sounds to her duo, as well as always improving her solo act with the addition of new songs, and possibly beats and loops. She also hopes to get back in the studio to do some recording, not only on her solo and band work, but also hopes to sing some more vocals on some House music tracks both in Spain & Holland with music producers.
