Sarah Calderwood and Paul Brandon

As one half of renowned bands Súnas and RedCrow, Sarah and Paul have toured Australia and overseas, played at most folk and roots festivals and released five acclaimed albums. The last Súnas album and Sarah’s first solo record, both produced by the ABC, charted in the ARIA classic/world/roots Top Ten, and receive worldwide airplay, while the debut RedCrow album was a finalist in the Australia Roots Music Awards. Sarah has received international recognition as a singer and front-person, and is also one of the best traditional flute/whistle players in Australia. Her vocal style is incredibly varied and distinctive; from soft and intimate, rising to bold and striking. She’s also performed (and is a rare Australian member) of legendary Scots/Irish band, The Waterboys. Paul has been playing in bands for over 25 years. As a guitarist, he has performed in places ranging from the UK to Canada, New York to Russia. He is also an accomplished bodhrán player, songwriter, session musician, photographer, and multi-award nominated writer. Sarah and Paul have played in almost every environment; from small intimate cafes and weddings, right up to supporting Celtic Thunder in front of 15,000 people at the Boondall Entertainment Centre and the Celtic Spectacular concerts at QPAC with the Queensland Pops Orchestra. Sarah received an ARIA nomination for Best World Music Album for ‘As Night Falls’, and individual tracks from the recording have had over 1.5 million views on YouTube.
