Sarah Yeo: Joan Baez & Me

Friday 20 November 8:45pm
Stage 2
£16.50 (inc. booking fee)

One of the UK’s high-rising songwriters Sarah Yeo took the UK by storm earlier in 2026 with her sell-out tour of the Music Of Joan Baez. She is returning again to perform this material - drawn from Joan's early career from the first recording, Harvard Square and onward through her lengthy journey to date, telling pivotal stories and singing key songs from the Newport Festival days, her years in Nashville, activism around the world, her relationship both on and off the stage with Bob Dylan, and her love of recording just great songs.

The set list takes note of the current political climate and includes self-penned songs Diamonds and Rust, The Winds of the Old Days, Dylan greats such as Love Is Just A Four Letter Word, There But For Fortune, Farewell Angelina and the wonderful catalogue from songwriters Stevie Wonder, Phil Ochs, Janis Ian and not forgetting the early folk covers, The Banks of the Ohio, House of the Rising Sun and many more hits. Sarah will include a small selection of her own compositions during the evening from her recent highly acclaimed album releases The Wisdom Of The Wind and The Circles Of The Grain.

Sarah, a recent finalist in the 'International songwriting competition', also delves into the Spanish language repertoire Joan loved so much. Sarah's "warm rich voice" with sweet higher notes, lends itself perfectly for this special evening of songs and stories.

As Sarah learns more about Miss Baez’s life and career, she feels she can relate to her in many ways, making the project a very personal, interesting and inspiring experience.
