Carrie Martin is a singer songwriter and acoustic guitarist from East Yorkshire UK . Mentored by instrumental guitarist Gordon Giltrap MBE she has attracted endorsements from Vintage Guitars, G7th Capos, Martin Strings and most recently she became an artist for Faith Guitars. Her original music is blend of folk/ rock drawing influences from Joni Mitchell and Nick Drake. She finds her lyrics in nature and life around her. In 2024 she was invited to join the legendary Rick Wakeman on stage, he described her as “Phenomenal”.
Join us from 2pm in the James Reckitt Reading Room upstairs – lift access available – We run the open mic at our monthly event each slot – strictly five minutes, please time your pieces at home beforehand – the list will open about half past one. This time constraint is vital to encourage different voices and subject matters, thus creating a varied listening experience for the audience. And there will be a break, where we will pass around the hat for donations. The suggested donation is two pounds per person. If you can’t donate we understand, it is not mandatory.
Women of Words is an event series and platform for women writers, set up in 2016 as a response to what was then a male dominated scene. The stage is reserved for women, but men are and have always been, welcome in the audience.
