Carmel Charlton at folk club
Singer-songwriter Carmel Charlton will perform at the Troubadour Folk Club concert from 7pm on Saturday, June 22, at the Woy Woy CWA Hall.
"Wherever she performs, Carmel Charlton is praised for her clear voice, her fine guitar and piano and for her warm and interactive performances," said Troubadour president Mr Michael Fine.
"She is known too for her songwriting, such as My Nullarbor Home which has lyrics by Jill Campbell from Kybo station on the Nullarbor and was included on the ABC's Australia All Over album Macca's Sunday Best.
"Many remember the video clip of her song Horses Coming Home which was shown on ABC TV on Anzac Day."
Carmel grew up on a farm at Yorkrakine in the central wheatbelt of Western Australia.
She now runs Jackadder's Music Club in Woodlands, near Scarborough Beach in Perth.
"Her songs are mainly about people that fascinate and inspire her and about the unique heritage that we share in Australia," said Mr Fine.
"She also writes material for children and entertains extensively, everything from community events, school shows, folk clubs to playing at major festivals including Folkworld Fairbridge Festival, the Illawarra Folk Festival, Tamar Valley Folk Festival in Tasmania and Tamworth Country Music Festival."
Together with her husband Eric, she also organises an annual Gospel Concert.
