Derry-born singer Sarah McGuinness will be performing a free gig online in celebration of International Women's Day on Thursday.
As she prepares to release her debut album Unbroken, the Emmy nominated musician will host a live global webcast on Thursday at 8pm.
Ahead of the show, we asked the singer to answer a number of quickfire questions:
The worst would be a string breaking and whacking me in the eye which caused my (heavy) eye makeup to run so badly I couldn’t see and had to be guided offstage after an entire performance with my eyes shut and makeup running down my face. No more stringed interments for me onstage (without a handler anyway).
David Bowie - yes, I met him backstage at a friend’s gig and it was the only time in my life where I was literally lost for words - and to my everlasting shame, I just ran away!
It was all too much…never meet your heroes.
Cinematic
Cinematic, truthful, emotional, wistful and feisty (yes both!)
A journey through the stages of life, uplifting, emotional, catchy, and sometimes even funny.
I Will Survive, Gloria Gaynor.
Omg yes! Something I have to avoid, unfortunately, as does anyone over 25 - now that really is a guilty pleasure.
Van Morrison, Neil Tennant, Tom Chaplin from Keane or Guy Garvey from Elbow…any of these.
Can’t Get You Out Of My Head by Kylie (actually a guilty pleasure, but then Cathy Dennis is a genius writer, it’s got a bit of Sparks going on there).
