Sally Ironmonger & Brian
Carter
(£9
/ £10)

I am a singer-songwriter based in Medway,
writing and performing with Brian Carter, my long suffering husband,
guitarist, and musical director. Our aim is to entertain, with songs that
make you laugh, or cry, or just think – and make a connection with listeners
and audiences.
We tend to get categorised
as folk musicians – I guess because what we do tends to be stripped down,
unplugged, story based. Let’s not get into a debate about what folk music
is, suffice to say that what we do is contemporary, with a nod to
traditional themes. And we often sing stuff that people like to join in
with.
Brian has worked as a professional and
semi-professional musician all of his adult life. Over the years he has
developed a style which fuses jazz, folk & latin
to produce a unique mix of melody and bass rhythms. I only really found my
wings since we met in the 1990s – although I always loved to sing, and
strummed guitar to accompany myself, it was Brian who promised to ‘put my
name up in chalk’.
Over the years we have written
commissions for BBC documentaries and Broadstairs
Folk Week, and have been supporting artists for Belshazzar’s Feast, Barbara
Dickson, Jacqui McShee, Chris Wood & Jez
Lowe. We also won the Milkmaid Folk Club Folk Song competition in 2016.
