Hi lovely people,

Unbelievably, I’ve just been diagnosed with tonsil cancer and am about to start an intense round of treatment. Overnight I’ve lost the ability to sing and teach, my main income, and I need help covering basic living costs and care support while I focus on recovery.

In spite of a stroke, breast cancer, and a car crash that kept me from working for years, I’ve kept creating and teaching. Now, with months of radiotherapy and rehabilitation ahead and the risk of losing my voice long-term, I find myself needing support.

Ever hopeful, I’ll discover a new voice as an emerging writer. In the meantime, any contribution will make a real difference to my stability and peace of mind as I navigate this next chapter.

As a thank you, I’ve changed my Bandcamp downloads to free — please enjoy the music as a gift. You can also follow me on Substack, where I’ll be blogging about this journey and sharing excerpts from my memoir Zen, Drugs ’n’ Rock ’n’ Roll.

I know from too much personal experience, healing is creative, creativity is healing and your support will help me to keep creating.

With love and gratitude,

Sarah Jay xx
