Us!! (Relaxed bluegrass duo with slight folk influences at times)!
Twin sisters Charlotte and Laura Carrivick have grown up playing and writing music together. Their unique style shows their strong bluegrass influences without obscuring their English roots. With tight harmonies that only siblings can achieve, they perform their original songs on guitar, fiddle, mandolin, dobro and clawhammer banjo. They have performed both in the UK and internationally.

"I am very impressed by The Carrivick Sisters, one of the best young duos I've heard. The girls sing and play as one and their work is characterised by great musicality. They are not only very talented instrumentalists and singers but they write really good songs as well." - Ralph McTell

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?
Good luck tonight in Stratford! Hope to have you visit sometime in 2010....in fact if you make it through to the final we might even see you at the Queen Elizabeth Hall!
Really enjoyed the show in Cardiff last night. Some very tight playing and harmonies. Now I'm enjoying the new CD. Nice to hear that new Rayco. Good luck with the tour in Ireland.

Hi! Can't believe it's been over a month since RockyGrass! It was great to pick with you again there. I'm not sure if you already saw it on our page, but here's a picture we took while Laura was playing in the Mandolin contest. Sorry that it's so far away, but we were using that questionable camera! Hope to see you guys again soon! ~ Amelia
Hello ladies, I just watched your latest youtube post. very well done. I can't say this about very many musicians but there isn't a single song I've heard from you two that I didn't love. Keep up the good work. Hope to make it over there to see you live sometime. Take care. Scott

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my myspace blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
