Sarah Jones[a] (née Cutts, formerly Smith; born 30 November 1960) is an English artist and musician. She was a member the rock band Cardiacs and the wife of frontman Tim Smith. She retained the Smith name after their divorce.[7] She has since done art installations.[8]

Early life

edit

Jones was born Sarah Cutts on 30 November 1960, in Coleford, Gloucestershire[9] to artists Jo (née Furmark)[10] and Mike Cutts.[3] Her younger brother Matthew Cutts was born in 1963.[3] As Sarah's grandparents were all fishermen, she used to go down to the quay in North Shields when she was little.[11] From 1977 to 1981, Cutts studied printmaking at Camberwell College of Arts, receiving a BA in graphic design and printmaking.[12][3]

Cutts joined the cult British band Cardiacs, fronted by Tim Smith, as a multi-instrumentalist in 1980,[13] The band released a single and cassette as Cardiac Arrest before shortening the their name to Cardiacs and releasing the Toy World cassette in 1981, by which time Cutts had joined on saxophone and keyboards.[14] Toy World was the last album with Colvin Mayers, who plays keys on a few tracks; most of the keyboards are split between Tim and Sarah, who also plays saxophone and clarinet.[7] According to writer Eric Benac, her saxophone skill allowed Tim to expand his arrangement possibilities, emphasising the influence of Van der Graaf Generator[7] and adding to the feeling of the track "A Big Noise in a Toy World" being "almost straight ska, but with new wave tweaks."[15]
