   About Laura Charms
You can email me directly... lauracharms@hotmail.co.uk



Bournemouth based singer-songwriter Laura Charms has been playing guitar and writing songs for the last couple of years, performing within the local music scene and loving everything music.

Laura is a versatile artist, performing as a solo act, with her three piece band featuring the superb harmonica playing of Si Genaro, and also collaborating with guest saxophone and flute players.

She is a natural singer/guitarist, offering relaxed, intimate and warm performances. Her gigs have included the Earthwise and Bournemouth Live festivals, as well as Poole’s famous Mr Kyps, and various local venues.

Laura Charms also runs a young people’s music project in Bournemouth. The project offers free guitar, bass and drum tuition to young people (over 250 each year). Within her work, she teaches guitar and songwriting skills, helps young bands to develop and organises gigs and festivals purely for young people.

Her passion is for music and she is promoting herself as a live performer and songwriter.

Laura has a promotional pack available, including photographs and a demo CD. Please contact: lauracharms@hotmail.co.uk



"SINGER/SONGWRITER LAURA CHARMS SEEMS TO BE ON A MISSION TO SEDUCE. HER LAID BACK JAZZ/FUNK INFUSED STYLE LAYERED WITH SLINKY VOCALS, IN PARTICULAR ON THE SUITABLY TITLED TRACK MIDNIGHT GROOVES, OOZES SEZ APPEAL. THE FOUR TRACKS ON LAURA'S EPONYMOUS EP ARE A COURSE IN HOW TO DO SUBTLE AND SOULFUL, AND HER VOICE REALLY SHINES ON CLOSING TRACK, MY LITTLE RED DRESS" Daily echo, Aug 08



"MAKE SURE YOU GET THERE EARLY, BECAUSE HE (BEN WATERS) IS SUPPORTED BY THE REMARKABLE LAURA CHARMS, AND MAKE SURE YOU PICK UP A COPY OF HER CD. YES, ANOTHER ESSENTIAL FOR YOUR COLLECTION. VERY APTLY DESCRIBED BY THE FIRST TRACK ON THE SELECTION, "SMOOTH". THE CD FEATURES SI GENARO ON HARMONICA AND NEIL NICHOLSON ON SAX, BASS AND GUITAR. AN EXCELLENT CD, WITH TRACKS THAT HAVE JOINED THOSE OF THE AFORE MENTIONED ANDREA SOLER ON MY MP3 PLAYER" Livewire Listings, Sept 08

3 Reasons to Record at ITG
In a separate building, not a bedroom or part of a house. Okay, it's “in the garden” of a house, but it's a detached, purpose built studio, soundproofed from the outside to around 90db, acoustically treated inside with a separate live and control room. Remember, if the acoustics in the room are not right, no amount of equipment will ever fix it.
T Tons of industry standard equipment, not home studio toys. For example the RME Fireface 800 is one of the top of range digital audio interfaces recording up to 192Khz ( not that you need it ) with almost no latency at all. That combined with Neumann/Rode vocal/instrument mics and things are looking good.
G Good value for money. We are not the cheapest and we are proud of that fact. We charge a mid-range price that enables us to offer the kind of after session support needed. Ask any previous customer and they will tell you how much trouble w

Hey lady. Too bad you didn't make it through to the battle of the bands final, it was all a scam any how, I reckon :)
