Rising talent Charlie has performed all over the world, and at just 25 has one of the most extensive repetoires you could ask for! Her voice has a soul and maturity that belies her years and her charming personality and boundless wit will challenge anyone not to have a ball!
Charlie is an accomplished vocalist, pianist and saxophonist, and has worked with many amazing people including Steve Rudolph and Andy Roberts in the USA and Nick Barraclough, Kevin Flanagan & Chris Ingham in the UK, to mention just a few.
She is a well-established musician in both the East and the South, and has performed in venues all over the world.
Charlie is currently recording her new album with composer Richard Beadle and is excited to be releasing it at the beginning of 2012. Their EP "Release Me" was launched in August 2011 at the Edinburgh Festival, and went down a storm with a 4* review from whatsonstage.com.
They are currently performing tracks from the EP and their new album in London.

Brian Phoenix, Wedding Event, Norfolk
You were amazing at our Civil Partnership at the Theatre Royal. So glad we booked you for our event. Fantastic!
Molly Hindle, Corporate Event, Norfolk
Hello Charlie, I am writing to thank you very much for performing at our Christmas Formal. You where amazing, and everybody thoroughly enjoyed your performance. Thank you for coming. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas.
Jessica Bridgwood - Event Designer, Corporate Event, Cheshire
I would just like to say thank you. Charlie was friendly and professional and the selection of songs she sang suited to the vintage theme. She looked the part and eveybody seemed to enjoy the event!
Emma Andrews, Venue Club Event, Middlesex
Fantastic performer - we were looking for an act with a "40s" theme. We were therefore delighted when Charlie arrived dressed in full forties style. She has of course got a wide repertory including many recent songs. We would have no hesitation in recommending her - a complete success with our guests! Thank you!
Steve Goodwin, Birthday Party Event, Bedfordshire
Charlie was the ultimate professional. She was able to play a wide range of songs from contemporary classics to upbeat party music. She was a pleasure to deal with and I would highly receommend her for any type of function as she is so versatile.
Ian Matthews, Restaurant Event, Norfolk
Charlie is a real star! We were all so pleased with the way Charlie engaged with our clients. She could gauge the event and played and sung perfectly both to diners and drinkers. Young and sassy was a great description!

Q: We have a special song that we would like you to sing, can you do that?
A: As long as it is not a crazy Piano concerto that takes years to learn, I will try and learn any song for you for free. I will learn and perform a special song providing it is possible for me to perform it (ie: no heavy metal!). Any further songs are charged at £25 per song to cover purchase of music plus rehearsal time.
Q: Do we need to provide you with food?
A: Yes please! This is a standard part of all contracts. You will need to arrange either a hot meal or buffet and unlimited soft drinks me and anybody else that you have contracted.
Q: Do you have insurance?
A: Yes I have full Public Liability Insurance, and all of my equipment is PAT tested.
