A SINGER-songwriter has spoken of her desire to reach more new fans as she prepares to launch a major tour – which includes a Silsden gig.
Sarah McQuaid begins a 55-show autumn tour of the UK and America next Friday (August 30).
The gruelling schedule includes an appearance at Silsden Town Hall on September 14.
Sarah has been recognised with a lifetime achievement award for her guitar work, and her albums have won critical acclaim.
"I’m basically trying to build a fanbase one gig at a time!" she says.
"I do a lot of village hall and library venues, because those shows draw an audience that hasn’t necessarily heard of me but goes along anyway because it’s in the local area.
"Then if people come up afterwards and buy merchandise and sign up to the mailing list, I know I’ve got another fan or two!"
