I have played this delightful country venue a few times now and I love going back.
I will be playing covers and some original.

She fronted bands in the 90s before casting her music aside in order to raise her children, her guitar went untouched for some two decades until 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 2019/21 &22
Quotes
‘Phenomenal’ Rick Wakeman CBE
‘The voice is distinctive - the crystalline purity and range of a Kate Bush, the depth and delicacy of a Sandy Denny. The chord sequence of the title track evokes Joni Mitchell’s Hejira album.’ Trevor Raggatt RnR Mag
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!
