Sarah Calderwood and Paul Brandon 
Sarah and Paul thread storytelling together with modern and traditional music. As one half of renowned Celtic band Súnas, they have toured the world creating intimate concert communities with passion, humour and grace. Sarah is an ARIA-nominated singer-songwriter, flute and whistle player who writes about love, loss, wildflowers, redemption, salvation, heartache, heartbreak, happiness and mermaids. Paul is an accomplished DADGAD guitarist and bodhrán player, songwriter, session musician, photographer, and multi-award nominated writer. Often praised for their capacity to sound new and old at once, Sarah and Paul anchor their music in that smudge where the sea meets the sky. [website] Jumping Fences 
Jumping Fences’ songs traverse working lives, migration and exile, and everyday hopes and joys. Their long association with Latin American music resonates deeply in their own compositions. They toured to Cuba in 2017 and 2018, and nationally they have performed at numerous festivals and venues in South-East Queensland and Victoria. They have composed songs for choirs and conducted workplace songwriting and performance projects in association with the Qld Council of Unions. In 2025, Jumping Fences released two singles ‘Woolloongabba’ and ‘Tiempo y Silencio’. You can download the songs from Bandcamp or listen on Spotify, YouTube or Apple Music. [website] |
