Event information

The Fold in New Mills, High Peak is excited to welcome Carrie Martin to the stage! Born in Hull, Carrie is an acoustic guitarist and singer/songwriter.
After a performance hiatus, a chance meeting with guitar virtuoso Gordon Giltrap changed her life. Close mentoring from Gordon saw her take a huge leap forward, attracting endorsements from Vintage Guitars, G7th Capos, Martin Strings and just recently she became an artists for Faith Guitars.
Her last two albums Seductive Sky and Entity included guests Elliott Randall, Gordon Giltrap, Oliver Wakeman, Daniel Cassidy (brother of late Eva Cassidy.), and ex Bad Company guitarist Dave Colwell.
Her latest album ‘Evergreen’ includes lead guitarist Roger Fisher from the rock band Heart. All albums are a magnificent snapshot of an artist at the peak of her creativity and gaining her fine reviews plus the chance to perform under the Vintage Guitar banner at NAMM in California.
Carrie has toured Canada and also guests at various guitar shows around the UK to demo her use of open tunings.

On the night, we will also have special guest “Emilie Lee” performing. Emilie has a beautiful voice and will accompany herself on acoustic guitar. There is a small bar serving light refreshments and alcoholic beverages.

“Carrie is a ‘triple threat’, possessed of the ability to craft a fine song, nimble finger-picking skill, and a beguiling voice. Her tone rests somewhere between a young Kate Bush and All About Eve’s Julianne Regan: delicate but infused with an inner strength. A perfect combination to showcase her memorable tunes and evocative lyrics. ‘Talk In Colour’ is an infectious pop song that if there is any justice, will be gracing the BBC Radio 2 playlist before long.” Trevor Raggatt RnR Magazine

“Phenomenal’” Rick Wakeman CBE

“Having heard this album I think if it weren’t for covid times this would have been a natural for radio 6 and Radio 2” Andy Snipper Music-News.com

“It’s pretty obvious from the moment you hear Carrie Martin sing that she is an outstanding vocalist with passion in each breath. Don’t be too sidetracked by that voice, stage persona and well crafted songs, because you might just miss the fact that she is a fine guitar player as well!” Gordon Giltrap
