A striking musical partnership with guitarist Fred T Baker is refreshed by the addition of award winning jazz singer Sara Colman, along with the talented bassist Andy Hamill. Another Story features jazz standards, original tunes - and pop songs - demonstrating the accordion's impressive versatility. Karen's music is influenced by her incredibly colourful and varied musical past which, with the Fairer Sax all-female Saxophone Quartet, saw her grace the cover of the Sunday Times Magazine and star in a BBC TV special to more recently touring with Strictly Come Dancing Live. She has performed with a huge range of performers and ensembles from Ute Lemper to Grace Jones, the Mike Westbrook Orchestra to the BBC Philharmonic.
