[edit] Early life
Sadie was born in Cambridge, and had a bohemian, runaway childhood. A major turning point came aged 12 when she discovered music and subsequently taught herself guitar. Between the ages of 14 and 21, Sadie Jemmett played in the bands African Ambassadors, Bridge, Easter Island and, most successfully, Soil.[2] She wrote the music for plays at the Galway Arts Theatre, and toured around Europe, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania[3] with The Rose Theatre (International Touring) Company, writing the music and performing in the show "13 Mirrors" which received 5 star reviews in the Edinburgh Festival.[4]
In 2000, she co-wrote (with DJ Frank Frenzy) the music for 'Résonances', which played at the Theatre d'Atelier, Paris, featuring French film star Irène Jacob[5] and won a Molière award for best new show.[6] An album of the songs from the show sold 3,000 copies in two months through the theatre while the song, "Making Sense",[7] became a playlist favourite on Paris radio station FIP.[1]
In 2001, she co-wrote (again with DJ Frank Frenzy) the music for Faustus Lite (Rose Theatre Co.), Edinburgh Festival, and Juliette & Romeo, Théâtre de Vidy, Lausanne, Switzerland.[8] Some of this music has been used as the soundtrack of an educational Animal Rights DVD.[9]
In 2003, Sadie co-wrote with Robin Walden (aka Deepcutt) the score for a musical theatrical version of Bertolt Brecht's Good Woman Of Szechuan at Théâtre Vidy, Lucerne & Théâtre de Chaillot, starring Irina Brook and Romane Bohringer.[10] The score was later released on CD.[11]
Sadie performs at The Jazz Café, The Borderline, The Regal Rooms, The Bedford, The Stag and Monkey Chews in London, has supported KT Tunstall[12] and Judy Collins[13] and has played at the following festivals: Roxy Jam ('05, '06),[14] The Small World Festival ('05, '06, '08),[15] The Secret Garden Party ('08),[16] Down On The Farm ('09)[17]
Sadie was one of the first three artists selected in 2009 by website 100000Fans.com to be premiered on their website launch, where her debut album 'The Blacksmith's Girl' is available for free download.[18]
