Sarah |
 |
|
Sarah
is lead vocalist and the most recent member of
Toccata. She is full of enthusiasm and
being the youngest (and best looking), she has brought a breath of fresh
air and a whole new
dimension to the band who have rapidly rearranged the set list to suit a
female voice. The band repertoire now includes a very large proportion
of modern contemporary pop, motown and classic female dance standards
spanning all decades, guaranteed to keep a dance floor full. This is in
addition to the already existing very large repertoire, now enabling the
band to truly cater for every musical taste, and every age group, ideal
for weddings and parties. |
