Some kind words from venues, media and promoters:
“Absolutely amazing afternoon. Sarah Saville was captivating”
The Park Inn, Southampton
“Having spent the past six years hiring musicians and entertainers for the pub industry, I write this short note is to confirm that Sarah Saville delivers an outstanding set with the professionalism needed for a discerning audience. Sarah never fails to amaze people with her vocal talent and has proved to be very popular indeed with customers, many of whom have returned to see her play on several occasions. Sarah has always been extremely reliable and has the rare ability to read an audience, tailoring her set to suit all tastes. I would strongly recommend Sarah to any venue considering hosting live music and I do hope you give her the opportunity to prove this letter correct.”
The New Inn, Littlehampton
“Sarah Saville brought her tribute to Karen Carpenter to the Tavern the next night. I have to say that of all the tributes I have worked with or booked for the Tavern she is the one who sounds most like the artist she is impersonating. The likeness is uncanny.”
The London Tavern, Romsey
“Sarah Saville – ****ING AMAZING – sorry about the swearing but this girl is something else !!!!!!!! a first but oh my god is she coming back…She is really, really good. Think a female Jose Gonzalez doing acoustic covers of everything from 80’s electropop to modern Indie. Top banana!”
The Old Barn, Felpham
“those of you who were lucky enough to hear her will know what a cracking voice she has. Grown men have been known to weep at the sound of it! Sarah is equally at home performing her own songs, covering pop and other songs from the 60s and 70s, re-invigorating classics from the age of swing and jazz, or paying her personal tribute to that equally fine singer Karen Carpenter. With a vast repertoire and a variety of styles at her disposal it’s no wonder she’s really busy and we’re feeling very lucky to have her back.”
Folklights
“Sarah Saville brought a performance full of beauty and melancholy with her three-octave range voice and I could see why Sarah had been billed as ‘an incredible vocal talent’. Obvious comparisons to Karen Carpenter leapt out, but Sarah has a voice and feel that is very much her own. A nervous vulnerability…endeared her further to an audience that was already captivated…Sarah was superbly accompanied by guitar virtuoso Lewis Harding, whose fretwork, although frenetic, did not detract from the fragility of her compositions. I was so impressed that I grabbed a copy of Sarah’s impressive Acoustic Swan CD”
Petersfield Post
“…stunning cover versions’”
Bognor Regis Observer
“Superb vocal control…astounded the audience”
Reel Sound Music
“This amazing artist has a superb voice covering a huge range. She went down a storm on a previous visit. She sings her own songs as well as some well chosen contemporary favourites. Sarah has a captivating three octave voice with deep rich resonance. As soon as Sarah started singing she captured the audience with her fantastic voice. She played an acoustic set of songs which held them captive through two sets, a hard thing to do for a single artist, even the hard to please were reaching for their money to buy her CDs. We look forward to having her back.”
Amberley Folk Club
“Beautiful melodies sung with tremendous feeling. A delight to witness and appreciate. We look forward to welcoming Sarah back as do all her many fans.”
The Fox Goes free, Charlton
“Her songs are excellent – But it’s her voice – warm but powerful, with a deep resonant range that most singers would give their right arm for – that’s what really grabs you – by the heart lungs head and soul, and once she’s got you – that’s it!!”
Dunnet Wright Music
”Sarah Saville is a marvel to behold, and then she lets rip with that voice…It’s enough to make a grown man cry. “
