Carmel performed at the Bunbury Performer's Club - following is a review by Peter Blankendaal
Carmel Charlton, our feature artist, came all the way from Jackadder's Music Club in Perth to play especially for us, what a performer she is. Fabulous singing, sort of like a West Aussie Eva Cassidy, delicate fingerstyle acoustic guitar, piano and some beautifully crafted original compositions. Carmel loved getting the audience involved with songs like "Pokarekare Ana" and "I Guess It Doesn't Matter Anymore". Her original material included "Up Down South" - Co-written with Pat O'Leary, "Back to Brookton" - a poem from a friend set to music by Carmel and "Goodbye Beethoven" a light-hearted look at the rigid structure and endless analysis of classical composition. Carmel left everybody uplifted and extended an invitation to anybody interested in performing at Jackadder's. | |||||||||
