It has been a busy few years for Charlie who made her TV debut on BBC1's 'The Next Big Thing', was a BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Awards semi finalist and has already recorded her first album 'Sleeping at the Station'.

Charlie plays festivals and venues throughout the UK, making appearances at Henley Festival, Cambridge Rock Festival, Buxton Fringe, Ely Folk Festival and City of York Folk Festival to name a few.

She has had the opportunity to support some of the biggest names on the acoustic scene, including Dougie MacLean, Ken Nicol, The Strawbs, John Parr, Chris While & Julie Matthews, Jez Lowe and shared a stage with country/ rock band Smokie on their 2008 UK tour date at the Metrodome Arena.

Aside from music performance, Charlie is a big supporter of live music and hosts the Friday Folk club in her hometown of Sheffield as well as organising the folk club's annual festival.
