Fleecey Folk: Charlie Dore & Julian Littman

Charlie Dore with celebrated multi-instrumentalist Julian Littman, finish our Sing in the Spring weekend in style. 

One of the UK’s most respected and quietly influential songwriters, Charlie Dore returns to the road with Still Curious, a tour that celebrates a lifetime of sharp observation, emotional intelligence and musical craft.

Charlie has written songs recorded by artists as wide-ranging as Tina Turner, George Harrison, Céline Dion, Martha Wainwright, Ricky Ross and Paul Carrack. She loves songwriting but says “I still have the touring bug, in spades.”

Alongside Julian Littman, her multi-instrumental, actor-musician friend since drama school, the two create a unique atmosphere, instrument-swapping, story telling, fast-moving yet relaxed and full of edgy humour.

Charlie’s recent accolades include Female Vocalist of the Year (FATEA) and Best Lyrics (US Indie Acoustic). Her live shows continue to draw devoted listeners alongside new audiences discovering her for the first time.
