Carole King set an early benchmark for the singer-songwriter movement, since the release of her "Tapestry" album in 1971 that was No. 1 for 15 weeks on the Billboard 200, Grammy winner for album of the year, King has inspired, championed and entertained with her incredible talent
This concert commemorates International Women’s Day on 8th March and acknowledges some of the great hits that that King has fed the legends of soul singers, girl groups, rock stars and, most impressively, herself.
Featuring Liz Braggins, Ryan Neville and the Midnight Blues Band, and Judi Smitheram and Mary Ruston. Sue Galvin will bring her enthusiasm for King’s music to the fore as compere.
There are so many good songs to choose from, so many songs that take you on a journey. We have selected songs that mean the most to us from a true artist that has inspired us. Ryan Neville and Midnight Blues Band
I relate to Carole’s voice production as it is similar to mine and of course the fact that we are both pianists. Her chord structure has always fascinated me. I think she has a jazz approach to her harmonic progressions.
"The first album I owned of hers was “ Simple Things”. I only heard “Tapestry” in its entirety a few years ago but quickly learned to love that album. Although Carole King is probably known more for her upbeat style I prefer her romantic side and this is reflected in my song choices." - Elizabeth Braggins
A collaboration of vocals and tones from the keys that will recollect those of Ms King, sharing our favourites, which we hope are also yours Judi and Mary.
"I am first, last and always a songwriter." - Carole King
