'''Sarah Jones''' ({{née|'''Cutts''', formerly '''Smith'''}}; born 30 November 1960) is an English artist and musician. She joined the rock band Cardiacs in 1980 as a multi-instrumentalist, debuting on the album ''Toy World'' (1981), and married frontman and guitarist Tim Smith in 1983, becoming known as Sarah Smith.'''{{efn|name=name|Written "Sara" in some sources.{{sfn|Buckley|1999|pp=160–161}}{{sfn|Taylor|2006|pp=55–56}}{{sfn|Benac|2021|p=25}}}}''' She became the saxophonist and a core member of the band's classic six-piece lineup, also contributing clarinet, recorders and vocals. After ''On Land and in the Sea'' (1989), she left Cardiacs in 1989 and later separated from Tim. She continued to play with the group in the studio and occasionally on stage, appearing on their albums as a guest, and retained the Smith name after her and Tim's divorce.
With Tim and keyboardist William D. Drake, Sarah played in the Cardiacs offshoot groups Mr and Mrs Smith and Mr Drake in the 1980s and the Sea Nymphs in the 1990s. Based in Malvern since 1999, she became Sarah Jones in 2002 from marrying Omnia Opera bassist Andy Jones. Since returning to art 2004, Sarah Jones has taught batik workshops in schools, formed the company Eekbatik with Marie-Therese King in 2008, and done art installations. Musically, she has recorded her own unshared compositions, completed work on the Sea Nymphs second album ''On the Dry Land'' (2016), composed a soundtrack for her and her brother Matthew Cutts' Transplant art installation and appeared on songs by Omnia Opera and Spratleys.

With sound engineer Graham Simmonds, who was a guitarist of Cardiacs for a brief period between 1983 and 1984, Tim and Sarah collaborated on the recording of ''Shock of Daylight'' by the Sound in 1984.<ref name=":10" /> The first side group to take shape from Cardiacs was called Mr & Mrs Smith & Mr Drake, which materialised in a single self-titled album released in 1984 on Alphabet.<ref name=":10" /> On ''Mr and Mrs Smith and Mr Drake'', Tim, Sarah and Drake put aside the noisy, punk inclinations of Cardiacs and dedicate themselves to acoustic sketches which, according to ''Ondarock'', sit between Henry Cow, Canterbury-style indolence, and chamber folk.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Worrall|first=Sean|date=5 February 2017|title=Organ Thing: William D Drake gets all magical in a sixteenth century Tudor house with a harpsichord...|url=https://organthing.com/2017/02/05/organ-thing-william-d-drake-gets-all-magical-in-a-sixteenth-century-tudor-house-with-a-harpsichord/|access-date=26 March 2026|website=Organ}}</ref><ref name=":10" /> Sarah's sax and woodwind create orchestral layers underpinning each composition, while her childlike singing adds a "sweet but sad" atmosphere to the three’s choral reveries.<ref name=":9">{{Cite web |last=Tucker |first=Alexander |author-link=Alexander Tucker (musician) |title=Forgotten Classics: ''Mr & Mrs Smith and Mr Drake'' |url=https://www.factmag.com/2014/07/17/forgotten-classics-mr-mrs-smith-and-mr-drake/ |url-status=live |access-date=27 August 2023 |website=Fact|date=17 July 2014 }}</ref> Her voice comes up primarily in harmonies, taking the lead a few times.{{sfn|Benac|2021|p=31}} Sarah's sax adds to the strange mood of "Little Creations",{{sfn|Benac|2021|p=31}} while the beginning of "Camouflage" has Tim and Sarah on guitar and melodica, respectively.{{sfn|Benac|2021|p=32}} Benac said Sarah's sax on the chorus of "The Collar" brings an immediate contrast that Tim Smith's more abstract song's on the album sometimes lack.{{sfn|Benac|2021|p=32}} The album's first instrumental, "All the String", has tuned percussion playing a melody from "Camouflage" which is later mirrored on Sarah's melodica.{{sfn|Benac|2021|p=33}} The album's penultimate song "Dergo" starts with Sarah on a melodica drone.{{sfn|Benac|2021|p=33}} On the song, she sings "Wild thing, you make everything groovy," in a soft choral melancholic call as a nod to the Troggs' classic "Wild Thing" which can also be heard on the Cardiacs song "It's a Lovely Day".<ref name=":9" /> Writing for ''Fact'' magazine, Alexander Tucker said that Sarah "shines throughout".<ref name=":9" /> [[File:Cardiacs live at Oxford Festival 1986 6 (cropped).jpg|left|thumb|Sarah and Tim Smith in 1986]] In 1986, Graham Bendel wrote to Cardiacs asking them what their influences were.

Although Cardiacs were ousiders of the industry, in 1987, the tabloid the ''Sunday Sport'' ran a double-page "exposé" story which falsely claimed that Tim and Sarah Smith were siblings in an incestuous relationship, as Tim had managed to persuade a ''Sunday Sport'' journalist that they were brother and sister.<ref name=":3" /><ref name=":6" /> When fractions of the media mistook their relationship as siblings instead of man and wife, it found the band embroiled in a brief stir that predated a similar controversy between Jack and Meg White of the White Stripes by more than a decade.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |last=Demalon |first=Tom |title=Cardiacs Biography, Songs, & Albums |url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/cardiacs-mn0000531346/biography |access-date=27 August 2023 |publisher=AllMusic|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230706041843/https://www.allmusic.com/artist/cardiacs-mn0000531346/biography|archive-date=6 July 2023}}</ref> Tim and Sarah played along with the reports.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Dalton |first=Stephen |date=8 September 2023 |title=Cardiacs – A Little Man And A House And The Whole World Window |url=https://www.uncut.co.uk/reviews/album/cardiacs-a-little-man-and-a-house-and-the-whole-world-window-143711/ |access-date=11 September 2023 |website=Uncut}}</ref> Reed called the story the band's "one brief moment of infamy",<ref name=":8">{{Cite web |last=Reed |first=Nick |date=20 May 2014 |title=Features {{!}} Anniversary {{!}} Once In A Lifetime: On Land And In The Sea By Cardiacs Revisited |url=https://thequietus.com/articles/15286-cardiacs-on-land-and-in-the-sea-review |access-date=27 August 2023 |website=The Quietus}}</ref> while Marco Sgrignoli of ''Ondarock'' called it a publicity stunt of dubious effectiveness.<ref name=":10" /> An article in ''The Glasgow Herald'' in January 1987 also named Sarah as Tim's sister.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Belcher |first=David |date=17 January 1987 |title=Instant arrest by the Cardiacs |page=8 |work=The Glasgow Herald |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XqNAAAAAIBAJ&dq=%22Cardiacs%22&pg=PA8&article_id=5539,3225514 |access-date=26 March 2026 |via=Google Books}}</ref>upright|thumb|Sarah Smith with Cardiacs in 1987"Stoneage Dinosaurs" features a saxophone solo by Sarah, which was played note for note on guitar by Jon Poole during concerts in the late 90s.<ref>{{Cite web |author=DDG|date=22 December 2021|title=Stoneage Dinosaurs (Cardiacs, 1987)|url=http://www.openmagazine.info/stoneage-dinosaurs-cardiacs-1987-2/|access-date=17 December 2022|website=Open magazine}}</ref> Sarah plays a bluesy saxophone part throughout "All Spectacular", giving the sing-along concert favourite an amiable and open feel.{{sfn|Benac|2021|pp=46–47}} "Loosefish Scapegrace" builds to an artful crescendo which "almost becomes R&B" through Sarah's sax and Tim's guitar.{{sfn|Benac|2021|p=48}} On "All His Geese Are Swans!", Sarah emphasizes different melodies on her saxophone, varying the same melody with the band as one of the standout instrumentalists along with Drake.{{sfn|Benac|2021|p=48}} The 1987 lineup recorded their debut studio album ''A Little Man and a House and the Whole World Window'' (1988), with the band working through the night to complete the album.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ewing |first=Jerry |date=21 June 2023 |title=Cardiacs first full-length album gets four disc reissue |url=https://www.loudersound.com/news/cardiacs-first-full-length-album-gets-4cd-reissue |access-date=27 August 2023 |website=Prog}}</ref> Sarah contributed saxophone, clarinet, recorder and vocals.{{sfn|Benac|2021|p=35}}

Sarah played saxophones on "England's", a track on Tim Smith's solo album ''Tim Smith's Extra Special OceanLandWorld'' (1995) which was recorded in 1989 and 1990.{{sfn|Benac|2021|p=90}} The Sea Nymphs was formed by Tim Smith as a spin-off project involving him, Sarah and Drake.{{sfn|Buckley|1999|pp=160–161}}<ref>{{Cite web |last=Worrall |first=Sean |date=1 October 2024 |title=Organ Thing: "Cardiacs: A Big Book and a Band and the Whole World Window" is launched today, it is a big book, it is a rather splendid thing indeed... |url=https://organthing.com/2024/10/01/organ-thing-cardiacs-a-big-book-and-a-band-and-the-whole-world-window-is-launched-today-it-is-a-big-book-it-is-a-rather-splendid-thing-indeed/ |access-date=26 March 2026 |website=Organ}}</ref> The Mr & Mrs Smith & Mr Drake trio renamed themselves the Sea Nymphs from 1991 for subsequent releases,<ref name=":9" /><ref name=":10" /> because by the time the trio changed their name, Tim and Sarah were no longer a married couple and Sarah and Drake had moved on from Cardiacs.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kitching |first=Sean |date=3 July 2022 |title=The Strange (Parallel) World of… Tim Smith Of Cardiacs |url=https://thequietus.com/interviews/strange-world-of/tim-smith-cardiacs-strange-world/ |access-date=26 March 2026 |website=The Quietus}}</ref><ref name=":9" /> Even so, the Sea Nymphs continued to perform live.<ref name=":10" /> The project offered a gentler side of Tim Smith's creative output,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kitching |first=Sean |date=24 July 2020 |title=Remembering Tim Smith Of Cardiacs |url=https://thequietus.com/news/remember-them/tim-smith-obituary-cardiacs/ |access-date=27 March 2026 |website=The Quietus}}</ref> with Sarah contributing wind instruments, percussion and voice to the group.<ref name=":16" /> Drake recalled at their album sessions in Rhosneigr, Anglesey they would get up late and Sarah would cook them "some gulls' eggs that she'd foraged for, and maybe some wild potatoes that she'd dug up from somewhere."<ref name="Hughes" />
Sarah's saxophone remains prominent on ''The Sea Nymphs'' (1992) with textural and melodic aspects, often emphasising Drake's keyboards.{{sfn|Benac|2021|p=63}} "Shaping the River" features a combination of Tim and Sarah's voices, with her sax coming through at times.{{sfn|Benac|2021|p=64}} On "Nil in the Nest", Sarah sings over light piano and later plays a rich saxophone melody over minimal drums.{{sfn|Benac|2021|p=65}} "A Thousand Strokes and a Rolling Suck" has Sarah playing sax lines, with Benac commenting "about three-quarters of the song feels like Tim, Sarah and Drake are riding down whitewater rapids and barely escaping danger."{{sfn|Benac|2021|p=66}} Sarah and Tim duet on the verses of "Christ Alive" as treated voices are used sparingly in the mix.{{sfn|Benac|2021|p=67}} Benac called Sarah's vocal tone on "God's Box" "perfect for the lyrics, which are almost childlike in their approach."{{sfn|Benac|2021|p=68}} On "The Psalm of Life", Sarah makes an instrumental return, playing with sounds like a higher-pitched saxophone or a clarinet, with her melody and Drake's interacting to vary the rhythm.{{sfn|Benac|2021|p=70}} All three members sing on "Tree Tops High" and Drake and Sarah sing the verse of "Dog Eat Spine" in unison, with Sarah's sax coming in to accentuate Tim's melody in a manner similar to many Cardiacs songs.{{sfn|Benac|2021|p=71}} On "Sarah on a Worm", Sarah plays no horns, recorder or other instruments despite the instrumental being named after her.{{sfn|Benac|2021|p=72}} Some lines of "Lilly White's Party" feature Sarah and Drake harmonising with Tim Smith, and her light horn lines are deeply mournful to match the song's mood.{{sfn|Benac|2021|p=73}} On "Abade", Sarah takes the vocal in her softest and gentlest voice.{{sfn|Benac|2021|p=74}} Benac criticised the album for not using Sarah's sax or Tim's guitar as much is it could.{{sfn|Benac|2021|p=64}}
