Sakara
I'm Sakara, a singer and songwriter with a love of photography and rambling (the talking kind).
Christmas song on Christmas Day, anyone? I currently have a cat on my lap settling in for Call The Midwife ❤️
My Christmas Wish [Live Version with Lyrics] Original/ by Sakara A one-take Christmas wish just for you ❤️ [Written & recorded by me, at home]
Not long to go now! 9th September in Littlebury. Operating a guest-list this year rather than charging for tickets (which is just the sweetest way to make sure everyone can come along if they want to) so tell me / one of the bands you know if you’re coming along in advance!!! And we’ll get you on the list.
Arrive early cause I’m on at 2pm 😉
Saturday 26th!! Nearly upon us
Playing The Bell Bash tomorrow (Saturday 26th) @ 4PM!! See you there 🥰
Come and join us at The Bell Inn in Wendens Ambo for The Bell Bash. A charity event supporting EACH - a charity that supports families and cares for children and young people with life-threatening conditions across Cambridgeshire, Essex, Norfolk, and Suffolk .
Enjoy live bands, live singers, delicious food, and drinks and exciting raffle competitions.
This event will be held on the 26th and 27th of August. Don’t miss out on a fun weekend while supporting a great cause. 
Hello hello about time I gave you more than a day’s warning of my gigs 🥰🌻
The first of which is at the lovely Wylde Sky brewery in Linton 🫶🏻 Saturday 19th of August from 7-9pm.
Two 45 minute sets in one night, so if you’ve got a favourite of my songs, you’re pretty much guaranteed to hear it! And if you won’t make the trip for me, could beer convince you? 🍻
That’s followed by The Bell Bash on Saturday 26th, So Long Summer on September 9th, and a first-timer floor spot at New Routes on the 30th!
(I’ll admit I’m pushing the “summer” definition a bit with this list, but I wanted to get that little floor spot in, because I’m excited already 🧡)

Failure by Laura Marling (Cover - Sakara) A song you know I love... Delivering some much-requested decent quality audio with my mic! Reviews are coming in, including "it sounds like you're in the roo...
Something for the final day of the year ~“Will you go easy on me? if I don’t ring you in with a party?
Will you be kind? I can’t mark you arrival with a kiss. Do you have any mercy for those who are tired? It’s been a pretty tough road, has this.
Now something I don’t usually dare to do, is ask you for joy;
I don’t need an abundance of light, just a gentle smile, a way to survive.
Do you have more than driving in neutral? Sometimes getting where I have to be. Do you have running away, adventures or reasons to stay and to believe?
I hope I have something to offer you too, some of the same, and a lot more of me.
Today I’m not making any promises, aside from staying to wait and see.”
-conversations with a new year.
[Image Descriptions: some blown out (bright flash) photos of Sakara with a “taken at a party” vibe, though nobody else is visible. They wear a knitted navy blue jumper and silver necklace. Their hair is tied back and they’re wearing prescription glasses. In some of the photos she holds a can of cider. Hashtag, Drink Responsibly. [end descriptions]]
Some seaside thoughts.

A snippet of my song / performance in the bar area at Fairycroft House over the Jubilee Weekend, plus some of the thoughts behind a favourite metaphor.
Before this, I’d only played live in the company of friends (& never needing a microphone- how I missed this!!) since January 2020 ♥️
