"Leave your preconceptions at home" begins one London critic's assessment of sensual singer-songwriter Sarah Jane Morris, who straddles rock, blues, jazz and soul with a goosebump-raising four octave range that rumbles from the heels of her size eight shoes to the tips of her flame-red mane. Famed for her association with ‘the Communards’ in the mid-80s and infamous for a banned rendition of the classic ‘Me and Mrs Jones’, Sarah Jane Morris has always attracted as much attention for her politics as for her soul-driven, seismic voice. Ten solo albums later, pop stardom on the continent, and a diverse set of musical collaborations on record, film and stage, Morris continues to steer her unorthodox career to greater heights. This year marks Sarah Jane’s 50th birthday and she is releasing a co-written and co-produced album of 13 songs entitled ‘Where it Hurts'.| 27 Jun 09 | New Theatre Royal Portsmouth, Hampshire Performance Details => Venue archive |
