This is the debut performance for Sarah at Folk On The Moor!
The evning will beging with some floor singer and then Sarah will perform her original material.

Sarah Yeo delivers a unique blend of original folk/country style songs, with a beautifully rich, soulful voice and engaging stage presence, that leaves audiences spellbound.
Sarah’s mature songwriting, accomplished musicianship and engaging style, gives audiences a flavour of British songwriting at its
finest. Recently this ‘Blues and Roots and International Song competitions Finalist, has shared stages with artists such as Kezia Gill, The Wandering Hearts & Ward Thomas and has performed pre-show at Birmingham Symphony Hall on Bonnie Raitt’s 2023 UK tour. Also recently has performed at The British Country Music Festival, West Country Music Festival, Buckle and Boots and many more festivals and venues both here and the US.
The recent studio album release of The ‘Wisdom of the Wind’ received some incredible reviews, including 4 stars from RnR Magazine “A gloriously tuneful and thought provoking gem of an album”. Audiences will hear songs from this highly acclaimed recording and some of Sarah’s multi faceted back catalogue. Once named as Jim Marshall’s (Amps) favourite vocalist, this artist is one not to be missed!

After the break Sarah will peform a shortened version of her highly aclaimed Music Of Joan Baez.. and include as many of the most popular songs from this show.
One of the UK’s high rising songwriters Sarah Yeo, performs material in her own "beautiful voice” (BBC) 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, 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.
