The Sisterhood is Sarah Jane Morris’ personal tribute to and celebration of 12 female artists prominent in the music world during the last century.

They are Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Miriam Makeba, Aretha Franklin, Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, Patti Smith, Rickie Lee Jones, Annie Lennox, Kate Bush, Sinead O’Connor. The lyrics tell their stories, as does the music created for each song with co-writer Tony Remy, using the characteristic genre and stylistic markers appropriate to each artist. The project was launched on International Women’s Day 2024 at The Alexandra Palace Theatre, London, and is now touring.

Sarah Jane Morris’ 30-year career, during which she has garnered a loyal and loving international audience, has been wide-ranging. She has performed with many groups over the years, from rock to soul to African blues, with classical orchestras, a one-hundred cello ensemble, with acoustic guitars and jazz big bands. In 1986 she toured the world with The Communards when their song ‘Don’t Leave Me This Way’ became a worldwide Number One hit. Her voice, her versatility, and her emotional intelligence – the absolute authenticity of feeling which she conveys – make her a world-class compelling performer.

“To honour the legacies of these stars, whilst creating new work, demands a breadth of experience of different popular musical forms as well as great versatility in performance styles. Clearly Morris and Remy have the necessary skills.”
