Sarah McQuaid brings a warm and witty show to Ilkley Manor House on 12 September!
Sarah McQuaid’s lush, velvety voice combines with her engaging personality and “brilliant musicianship” (fRoots) on acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards, and drum to create a truly immersive experience.
Born in Spain, raised in Chicago, holding dual Irish and American citizenship, and now settled in rural England, she brings the eclecticism of her background to her “captivating, unorthodox songwriting” (PopMatters) and choice of material.
From contemplative ballads to playful blues to atmospheric instrumentals, Sarah’s music invites reflection, connection, and a deep appreciation of the quiet power of a well-crafted song.
The performance will take place at Ilkley Manor House on Friday, 12 September 2025, from 7:30pm to 9:30pm, with doors opening at 7:00pm. Tickets are £14 and can be purchased online via TicketTailor or in person at the House when we open on weekends.
