Irish dates on sarah mcquaid tour

Renowned for her warm, engaging stage presence, Sarah McQuaid is a versatile and beguiling performer. Her unique voice delivers a powerful emotional punch that's matched by her distinctive, eloquent guitar style. In addition to her own elegantly crafted originals, she interprets traditional Irish and Appalachian folk songs, Elizabethan ballads, 1930s jazz numbers, surprise covers and lively guitar instrumentals. Her earthy voice delivers a powerful emotional punch that's matched by her distinctive, eloquent guitar style. Sarah is also the author of The Irish DADGAD Guitar Book, described by The Irish Times as 'a godsend to aspiring traditional guitarists,' and has presented workshops on the DADGAD tuning at festivals and venues around the globe. Her new album just released in the UK is called Walking Into White, and she has started a tour to promote it, including some Irish dates.
