Full Biography
“A distinctive voice a nice sense of phrasing and an instinctive feel for the songs she sings… ” 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 is a star in the making!
Singer/Songwriter Sarah 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 a place at the famous Paul McCartney School in Liverpool - LIPA. Whilst there Sarah was asked to sing for Paul McCartney's VIP party an incredible honor 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.

The J booked The Sarah J Band for their event
“Palpably, Alan Bates continues to find off-the-beaten-track talent for his Candid label(s) releases. Firm evidence of this reached my ears in a peak evening during another week, at the Dean Street Pizza Express venue, devoted to this special stable. The latter set included a duet with the attractive young lady who opened the evening - Sarah Mitchell, who had come 'all the way down from Leeds' with her enormously supportive trio. Sarah proved to have two distinct singing styles at her disposal. There is Aretha-type soul/gospel big-voice attack, which she uses on most of her own compositions, of which there were seven. Let Me Apologise was a particularly successful 'soul-strutting' item. Then, early in her set, the ultra-slow verse of The More I See You sounded like someone in a stage musical, as did her measured delivery of What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life? Overall, this dual-personality soul/show presentation had much appeal. LES TOMKINS ”
