About Marmalade

Since the time of Britpop, Sarahphotogirl (aka Marmalade) has been well known in the music world, taking pictures of bands and artists such as Blur, Noel Gallagher, Radiohead and The Darkness. Her work has featured in band biographies, on TV, and in many mainstream magazines and newspapers including the NME and Q. Sarah, who has swapped the tour bus for a typewriter, said: “In the age of Instagram and TikTok, the written word doesn’t seem to stand a chance, so I wanted to make my book as different as possible to captivate young readers. She added: “As a mother myself, I wanted to write something that parents could read to their children and that children would want to read to their parents. Writing under the name of Marmalade Atkinson, Sarah said she wanted to make the divide between her photography and her writing, and being a big fan of Paddington Bear, Marmalade was an easy choice.
