Carrie Martin

Martin is equally skilled on guitar, on vocals and as writer. The voice is distinctive- the crystalline purity and range of a Kate Bush, the depth and delicacy of a Sandy Denny. And the songs to which she applies them stand up with any of her peers. The chord sequence of the title track evokes Joni Micthell’s Hejira album. — Trevor Raggatt, RnR Magazine.

We are delighted to welcome the wonderful Carrie Martin to open our summer series of music events, Folk at the Book Tree!

Carrie’s music spans an eclectic mix of folk, blues and prog rock influences. She is an incredible song writer, vocalist and guitarist, and this is sure to be a fantastic evening.

Carrie will perform two 45 minute sets, each opened with trad folk music by Beth Burrows. Drinks will be available to purchase at an informal bar before the show and during the interval. The concert will be in our atmospheric upstairs performance space, surrounded by the building's old oak beams. 

Doors will open from 7pm, and the performance will start at 7.30pm.

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 and stage persona and well-crafted songs, because you might just miss the fact that she is a fine guitar player as well! — Gordon Giltrap
