Sabrina Kennedy: North Shields’ Rising Music Star
North Shields never ceases to amaze me. I’ve known for some time that this town is home to many wonderful creative artists, whether they are musicians, singers, painters or potters - but I am beginning to wonder just how many. You really don’t have to look far and the chances are you have met someone living in North Shields who’s written a song or penned a poem or painted a picture. In fact, it was a chance meeting that led me to discover the musical talents of Sabrina Kennedy. I was having a coffee at the ultra-cool Hyem coffee shop in Church Way when Sabrina and Johnny Cash walked in. I had never met either before. Casual conversation followed and I noticed Sabrina’s American accent - naturally, I asked where she was from (Boston, Massachusetts) and we got chatting.
