SARAH GILLESPIE - UK TOUR 2013 - GLEE CLUB NOTTINGHAM
Sarah Gillespie's music is a fusion of jazz, folk and blues knitted together by poetic, streetwise lyricism. She brings her unique sound to Glee Club Nottingham, Thursday 6th June 2013.
Sarah Gillespie was born in London and grew up in Norfolk, interspersed with trips to Minnesota, where she soaked in the sounds of Bessie Smith, Bob Dylan, Cole Porter and early blues and jazz. From the age of 4, Sarah composed songs on piano, and then at 15 began playing guitar.
Supporting Ian Dury's band The Blockheads at Ronnie Scotts, Sarah met the saxophonist and composer Gilad Atzmon, who went on to produce Sarah's critically acclaimed debut album Stalking Juliet.
Now backed by a formidable band including Mercury Prize nominee Kit Downes on piano, Sarah's new album, Glory Days, was also produced by Gilad.
