The Semibreves – three singers and a pianist, are a group of friends, who share a love of music and singing and have sung in a variety of concerts, shows and even pantomimes. They sing a wide range of music; songs from the shows, some pop, a splash of folk music and some light opera. The performers for the concert are:

Andrew Burke
A lifelong resident of Ipswich, Andrew studied at the Royal Academy of Music as a composer and pianist.

Louise Cockerill
Louise is the instigator and organiser of the Semibreves. She has been singing for several years with a variety of groups, singing a range of solo and chorus work. Louise especially enjoys singing and performing with her friends from the Semibreves.

Mark Ellis
Mark provides the low notes. A keen bass/baritone, he has been singing in the Essex/Suffolk area for many years and has been fortunate to sing a wide range of repertoire in choirs in the region, from Renaissance to modern.

One of the most instantly recognisable voices in current music.” —Trust The DocSarah McQuaid’s lush, chocolatey voice combines with her engaging personality, “subtle mastery onstage” (Huffington Post) and “brilliant musicianship” (fRoots) on acoustic and electric guitars, piano and (occasionally) drum to create a truly immersive experience. Born in Spain, raised in Chicago, holding dual Irish and American citizenship and now settled in rural England, she brings the eclecticism of her background to her “captivating, unorthodox songwriting” (PopMatters) and choice of material, spanning genres and defying categorisation. All this is abundantly demonstrated by her new live album and video series The St Buryan Sessions — but needs to be savoured in person to be fully appreciated.
