Event information

Although best known as one of the UK's most respected singer-songwriters, Charlie Dore enjoys a multi-faceted career that includes acting in film, TV and radio, comedy-improvisation,writing for radio and composition for film and TV.
Her songs have won two Ascap awards, an Ivor Novello nomination, both the Overall Grand and the Folk Prize from the International Acoustic Music Awards and in 2012 Best Album Lyrics from the Indy Acoustic Project for her album Cheapskate Lullabyes.
Known for her bittersweet, often subversive lyrics, she is one of a handful of UK writers to have success across many genres, defined by the range of artists to have covered her songs, including Tina Turner, George Harrison, Lisa Stansfield, Paul Carrack, Ricky Ross, Celine Dion and Jimmy Nail. Her own albums, however favour a more eclectic, acoustic-roots side to her songwriting and she increasingly enjoys touring with this music and with long-time musical collaborator Julian LIttman.
Julian Littman Musician, composer and singer-songwriter and Steeleye lead guitarist has played and performed with artists from Gerry Rafferty, Charlie Dore and Dexy's Midnight Runners to Sister Sledge and Phillip Bailey. He has also appeared in an abundance of TV & Film roles ("London Boulevard", "The Life and Death of Peter Sellers", "Evita" & many more), to West End musicals such as Queen's "We Will Rock You." and "125th Street" and others too numerous to list.
Together their natural chemistry and combination of talents provide a wonderful evening of music and exceptional performance.
