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.
