Sarah McQuaid is delighted to be making her second visit to The Poly as part of the launch tour for her fifth solo album, "If We Dig Any Deeper It Could Get Dangerous".
“The precision and sophistication of the writing and playing blows me away. I am so glad to be involved,” writes guitar legend Michael Chapman in his introduction to Sarah McQuaid’s fifth solo album If We Dig Any Deeper It Could Get Dangerous – which he offered to produce after meeting Sarah at a festival where they were both on the bill.
Recently honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Ards International
Guitar Festival in Northern Ireland, Sarah’s also drawn critical praise
for her voice (which has been variously likened to malt whiskey and melted
chocolate) and her engaging rapport with audiences: “I’ve attended
hundreds of concerts of all kinds, and her subtle mastery onstage launches
her straight into my fave shows ever,” wrote The Huffington Post.
Reviewers of the Madrid-born, Chicago-raised, Cornwall-based
singer/songwriter’s previous albums have repeatedly alluded to her
“relative obscurity” (The Big Takeover) and “under-the-radar” (The
Vinyl District) profile. With her new album – on which she expands her
battery of instruments to include piano and electric guitar – she looks set
to change that.
“One voice, one guitar, and the wondrous reminder of the magic of music.
Sarah has the gift.” – The Huffington Post
“The songs are acutely observed and literate, almost like journal notes set to
music. They’re measured and tranquil but they’re never dull because there
is always a sense of restlessness and unease behind the poetry.... And
it’s all lovely.” – R2/Rock 'n' Reel
