Single review – The Silence Above Us (The St Buryan Sessions). “Perfectly appropriate piano and gorgeous vocal on a melancholic song that certainly fits the mood of the times. We can’t wait to see what comes out of this project next.”

SINGLES BAR 61 – A round-up of recent EPs and singles
Despite the enforced disappearance of so many live gigs in the last year, SARAH MCQUAID took a slightly unusual course of action. Rather than risk the uncertainties of live-streaming, she used crowdfunding to finance a properly-produced album and video series that would capture the essence of a live performance even without an audience. ‘The Silence Above Us’ is the first single from The St Buryan Sessions, recorded in her local church. It’s just Sarah’s own perfectly appropriate piano and gorgeous vocal on a melancholic song that certainly fits the mood of the times. We can’t wait to see what comes out of this project next.
