Sally Goddard
Sally was born in London, England and grew up there during the 60s folk revival. She got her first guitar at age 14, and performed in London folk clubs before heading to Bangor, North Wales to study marine biology.
While at university, her love of, and exposure to, traditional music grew – so many great singers visited the University Folk Club (e.g. Peter Bellamy, Steeleye Span), and a steady stream of amazing singers and musicians passed through Bangor from Ireland on their way to England.
In 1987, Sally moved to Newfoundland with her family, and quickly found Bridgett's Folk Club and a new world of tunes and songs to learn, and wonderful musicians to play with.
In addition to performing solo - she sings a cappella, or accompanies herself on the guitar - Sally has played in a variety of bands. Finding new songs, learning and performing those songs, alone, with friends at home, in folk clubs, at house concerts, and folk festivals has been an abiding passion and a source of great joy.
Since 1987, her day jobs have all focused on marine biology, and for the last 16 years she has been a lecturer in biology at MUN. Sally retired in May, which means much more time for MUSIC!!
Sally will be a special guest of the Soundbone Folksong Choir in the Winter 2022 term. Choir registration and more information
