Sarah Jane Morris - Doncaster Hothouse 2010It’s hard to define an artist who’s astonishing voice straddles rock, blues, jazz and soul and is often compared with Janis Joplin, Nina Simone and Tom Waits. But there can be little doubt that an evening with the sensual singer–songwriter Sarah Jane Morris accompanied by guitarist Dominic Miller will leave you breathless. This intimate acoustic set promises to be a night to remember in this rare UK performance as part of HotHouse. Where it Hurts features a collection of original and haunting songs co-written with Dominic Miller and Martyn Barker. Sarah Jane is best known from the 1980’s as a member of the Communards who had a huge world wide hit with ‘ Don’t Leave Me This Way.’ Whilst Dominic Miller is widely regarded as a guitar maestro who is best known for his collaborations with Sting. It promises to be a wonderful evening, so don’t miss it. Tickets for the performance at 8.00pm on Wednesday March 17 are only £14, £12 and just £5 for 12-18 year olds.
