Sarah Jane Morris and Antonio Forcione

Deep and soulful-voiced Sarah Jane Morris returns to St Leonards-on-Sea, this time combining musical energies with Antonio Forcione, as part of their worldwide tour to promote the launch of their collaborative album, Compared to What? Having seen Sarah Jane at The Masonic Hall last year and witnessed her performance in reality, Zelly Restorick encourages you to go along and listen and see for yourself.

Sarah Jane Morris is known for writing and singing songs about those world and life issues closest to her heart. Compared to What is the result of a fruitful and varied songwriting collaboration with Antonio Forcione, covering a number of traumatic social issues and many songs of emotional intensity which reflect the urgent concern both artists feel for the tragedy of refugees. One song in particular deals with the boat people – a drama most keenly felt in Italy and by Italians – with Sarah Jane and Antonio acting as tribunes of conscience.

​

Sarah Jane and Antonio’s set touches heights of great musical beauty both in Antonio’s unique virtuoso guitar playing and Sarah Jane’s legendary voice, now more subtle and persuasive than ever, with range and power undiminished. The whole is a triumph of collaboration between two of the most individual and richly talented musicians on the world stage.
