Sarah Darling Announces October 2016 Support Dates For Ward Thomas
Sarah Darling is excited to announce she will be opening for UK chart toppers Ward Thomas on selected dates of their sixteen date October 2016 UK tour. Sarah will be joining Ward Thomas on October 17th in Cardiff and accompanying them on tour until October 25th in Exeter, calling at Bristol, Southampton, Manchester and Leamington in between.
The stars have seemed to align for Sarah, as she will arrive at the same time as remnants of Halley’s Comet will be visible in the UK. “The most personal track on my upcoming album is called “Halley’s Comet.” It follows the journey of what it’s like to have a dream. All of my fans started tweeting a few days ago that Halley’s Comet’s tail will be sending off shooting stars in Britain all of October while I’m there opening for Ward Thomas!! I call it serendipitous.”

It has been a busy and exciting year for Sarah Darling, with two very successful trips to the UK already, the first being London’s C2C Festival in March, where she performed on the BBC Radio 2 stage in the indigo2. Following the positive momentum from C2C – and witnessing the desire for country music in the UK – Sarah returned in September for a sold-out 12-date tour – one of her ‘greatest adventures’ – and released debut single, You Take Me All The Way, which features on the new record. The tour – ‘Nashville Nights, Songs in the Round’ – was a huge success in the UK, bringing a taste of Nashville and the Bluebird Café to British and Irish shores.
Sarah also has announced her new album DREAM COUNTRY out January 27th. It takes the listener on a journey through aspirational, cinematic songs about stars, romance and dreams in Sarah’s escapist style which crosses country, Americana, jazz and contemporary pop. Following the end of a long term record deal, this album was a chance for the singer-songwriter to write a record that depicts where she is artistically, professionally and personally.
