Charlie Dore

Although best known as one of the UK's most respected singer-songwriters, Charlie enjoys a multi-faceted career that includes acting in film, TV & radio, comedy-improvisation, screenwriting and composition for film and TV.

She has made five albums of her own songs, the last two of which, "Sleep All Day" and "Cuckoo Hill", co-written & produced with long time collaborator Julian Littman, saw a return to her acoustic folk-country roots and won her excellent reviews.

Her enduring radio classic, 'Pilot of the Airwaves' was the first of many successful songs that lead the way for an impressively diverse list of artists to record her material, including Tina Turner, George Harrison,Lisa Stansfield,Paul Carrack,Ricky Ross,Sheena Easton,Celine Dion and Jimmy Nail, for whom she wrote "Ain't No Doubt", a UK No 1.

She starred opposite Jonathon Pryce in the award-winning film "The Ploughman's Lunch", worked in theatre, including regional, fringe and West End and co-founded and performed at comedy-impro venue The Hurricane Club, working alongside many comedy icons, including Robin Williams.

Having spent the last two years touring to promote 'Sleep All Day' and 'Cuckoo Hill', Charlie is shortly to release "The Hula Valley Songbook", a collection of American hillbilly, swing and popular favourites of the 1930's. Named after her first band, the album will feature several guests, including Beth Nielsen Chapman, who duets with Charlie on the Rodgers classic, 'Roll Along Kentucky Moon'.

This year Charlie won the International Acoustic Music Awards Grand Prize with her song "Looking For My Own Lone Ranger".
