Carol Grimes performs excerpts from her autobiography ‘The Singer’s Tale’ alongside a talented band of musicians: Alison Rayner (bass), Deirdre Cartwright (guitar), Steve Lodder (piano) and Winston Clifford (drums).
‘The Singer’s Tale’ depicts Carol’s life as a musician, following her days as a busking musician to performing at some of London’s best-known venues. The singer’s Tale is an emotional roller coaster that is challenging and inspirational.
Carol Grimes is a British singer, songwriter, poet and author, a towering presence in the UK music scene; from busking in the streets as a teenager to touring internationally with the contemporary classical group The Shout and her two solo albums in Memphis, it is safe to say Carol is a truly genre-busting artist. Having turned to jazz and blues, her music embraces drama and love.

Insieme are delighted to continue as Chamber Opera Ensemble in Residence at Lauderdale House this year. New for 2022, they are presenting a series of Free Thursday Lunchtime Concerts in Lauderdale house’s beautiful Long Gallery overlooking Waterlow Park.
Curated by Insieme members, these will explore repertoire for smaller combinations of voice and instruments in a relaxed, 40-minute concert.
Karen Sharp, a multiple award winner and prominent artist on the jazz scene will be appearing with her long established line-up of Nikki Iles, Dave Green and Steve Brown – world class musicians who also happen to be great friends.
This year the band are really excited to be celebrating their 10th anniversary (postponed from 2020!) by playing some of their favourite festivals, jazz clubs and special venues across the country.
Together they create a unique sound that is warm, spontaneous and exciting, incorporating free flowing improvisation with almost telepathic ensemble playing. The quartet have recorded two albums to date, ‘Spirit’ and ‘The Sun, the Moon and You’ both of which include familiar, lesser-known and original tunes showcasing the unique spirit of a band with a shared passion for strong melodies, group interplay and respect for the jazz tradition.
