Sarah Gillespie Featuring Gilad Atzmon Bursting with character, Sarah Gillespie's voice is strong and provocative, yet at the same time full of vulnerability, and it is this that makes her such a compelling performer. With her distinctive delivery, Gillespie is a passionate and formidable storyteller – wrestling with the toils of life, love and yearning in a style that blends everyday banter with raw poetry. Sarah will be showcasing brand new material from her forthcoming second album, 'Spinning Lines' due for release later this year. Her band not only includes Sarah's producer Gilad Atzmon on accordion, clarinet and sax, but also features Ben Bastin (bass) and Enzo Zirilli (drums).
