Event information
“Brave, poignant, entertaining, original” The Guardian ★★★★
“Charlie Dore is one of this country's finest songwriters, a poet with the keenest of eyes” Americana UK
Charlie Dore returns to share ‘Songs For The Curious,’ her latest mix of music that refuses to fit categorisation.
As an artist whose music tends to invite several hyphens when reviewers seek to describe it, Charlie loves nothing more than to mix genres, often finding in the process that songs can be re-invented in unexpected and interesting ways.
A multi award-winning songwriter for dozens of different artists from Tina Turner, George Harrison and Celine Dion to Martha Wainwright, Ricky Ross and Paul Carrack, she loves writing but says “I still have the touring bug - in spades”.
Alongside virtuoso 5 stringed double bass player Gareth Huw Davies, the two create a unique atmosphere, instrument-swapping, story telling, fast-moving yet relaxed and full of edgy humour.
Charlie’s recent awards include Female Vocalist Of The Year (FATEA, 2020) and Best Lyrics (US Indie Acoustic, 2021) whilst her tours continue to reach new and enthusiastic audiences.
“... earnest and witty, tender and cynical all at the same time” RnR Magazine
“Reaffirms her place as one of our most intelligent and erudite singer-songwriters” Fatea Magazine
“A voice like Kate McGarrigle meets Dory Previn. Wonderful” Mike Harding
