Following the break up of Sweet Liquorice, Tony Stark continues to be the most versatile and proficient guitarist in town while the combination of Sarah Newby on cello and Annette Oakes on guitar and vocals offers a range of original song writing, stunning vocals and instrumental gems including Sarah’s interpretations of classical Sufi tunes.
