Sarah Farrelly
DJ Profile
Sarah Farrelly is one of Melbourne’s favourite dancers and DJs. Doing her bit to get women known for more than their swivels, she’s been a regular behind the desk at local events such as CBD, Funpit & other Swing Patrol events for a few years. More notably, Sarah was one of two finalists in the Lismore Dance Camp’s Battle of the DJs (2006). Add to this her International DJ experience at Camp Jitterbug (Seattle USA) and Carla Heiney’s Swing Central (San Francisco, USA) in May 2006 and you can bet your bottom dollar that swingin’ along to Sarah’s tunes is something that you don’t want to miss.
She likes to play a real mix when she DJs and is conscious of playing tracks that are going to get every dancer up on the floor and staying there! Her favourite artists to spin are Lucky Millinder, Chick Webb, Jimmie Lunceford, Kid Ory, Sidney Bechet, Jimmy Witherspoon and Count Basie, and loves to combine these with some great vocalists such as Ella, Carmen McRae, Barbara Morrison and Diane Shuur.
She’s a little bit crazy, is Sarah – so at times she’ll push the tempos up! What’s more, you can probably catch her dancing along with y’all from behind the DJ booth!
