REVIEWS FOR THE HARD RAIN BAND

'Great night, starting with Elliot's unique songs followed by Sarah, Elliot and Len playing Dylan. Too good a night to be a one off, not surprise they sold out.'

'Stunning vocals from Sarah and accomplished guitar work from Elliott. A couple who know their stuff when it comes to Robert Zimmerman.'

'A great gig for all fans of Dylan. Sarah gave us her own fabulous take on some Dylan classics yet somehow kept the authenticity that will satisfy the diehards.'

'A very enjoyable evening. Sarah and husband plus supporting player on pedal steel performed a well chosen set of Dylan favourites, mostly from the 60s and 70s. Many were popular hits such as Like a rolling stone and Just like a woman but there was also a sprinkling of less obvious songs, including Blind Willie McTell. The songs were delivered by Sarah with a combination of enthusiasm and reverence. Hubby's harmonica playing was a real bonus.'

'Sarah and Elliot never disappoint.'

'Simply a wonderful evening. We enjoyed every moment.'
