Born into a musical household in Adelaide, Australia, Sadie Harrison's father brought his family to the UK when she was five. She learned the piano and violin as a child, without much enthusiasm, but went on to study composition to doctoral level at Kings College, London. Her secondary career as an archaeologist has nurtured an interest in the music of old and extant cultures and inspired compositions based on the folk music of Afghanistan, the Isle of Skye, Lithuania, the Northern Caucasus and the UK.

It is not only the music of the UK which contributes to 'Three Jennys' but the country's flora and fauna as well. The first, 'Spinning Jenny', is based on the Lancashire folksong 'Poverty Knock' and comes from the nineteenth century textile industry. The second is 'Jenny Wren 'whose repeated staccato is quoted and varied in this short piece of two distinct parts; and the third - 'Creeping Jenny' (Lysimachia nummelaria) describes the growth habit of the moisture loving wild and garden flower. Three Jennys was written for and dedicated to Jennifer Porcas who gave the first performance in St. Mary's Church, Swanage, Dorset, as part of the Purbeck Arts Festival on 7th June 2014.
