She plays Eva to perfection and has worked tirelessly to make her voice an almost exact copy of the original.

Sarah-Jane said: “I want the audience to feel like they have seen Eva Cassidy live.

“I wanted to bring her truly beautiful arrangements to life. When I first heard Eva on Terry Wogan’s radio show her voice stopped me in my tracks. Her vocal range and emotional effect was spellbinding and I was hooked.’’

The show is on at the Charter Theatre in the Guild Hall complex on Wednesday, February 4 and audiences will have the chance to hear over 25 of Sarah-Jane’s unique interpretations of well known songs including Songbird, Fields of Gold and Over the Rainbow.
