 Sarah Mitchell

 “A distinctive voice, a nice sense of phrasing and an instinctive feel for the songs she sings… Alan Bates has signed a star” – Sir Michael Parkinson

A big personality with a big voice to match. And she’s from Yorkshire… How could Sir Michael Parkinson not be on her side! Sarah Mitchell is a star in the making. Signed to the label that bought you Sarah’s idols Jamie Cullum and Clare Teal Sarah has set her sights high.

Singer/Songwriter Sarah Mitchell knew at a very young age that she wanted to be a singer. She was known at school as the girl that sang, whether at mass, in school plays, or music concerts. You name it she’d be using it to test out her windpipes. Sarah won herself at the famous Paul McCartney School in Liverpool – LIPA. Whilst there Sarah was asked to sing for Paul McCartney’s VIP party, an incredible honour which she took in her stride. On graduating Sarah took several jobs starring in musical reviews all over the world gaining invaluable experience on repertoire from Broadway shows and the Great American Songbook before returning to Leeds and starting to reassess her career. “I got back into doing what I really love,” she says, “working with musicians and singing Jazz, and then everything began to fall into place.

Wilful Missing have played recorded live radio sessions on Bradford’s BCB106.6FM and Ramair.

2010 sees the release of the Vast Atlantic EP, and recording for the next one has already started. 

“Bradford’s Wilful Missing seem to be instinctive elaborators of melody, and a rewarding texture appears to develop effortlessly in their work.”   www.LeedsMusicScene.net (gig review)

“From contagiously happy-go-lucky keyboard licks and cheery vocals to piercing, tortured guitar riffs and soulful wails Wilful Missing manage to cover a lot of acoustic ground . . . managing to be eclectic yet consistent thanks to the continuity provided by Sam Kipling’s distinctive vocals.”   Sandman Magazine CD review, September 2008
