BIOGRAPHY
Carolann was born in Denaby Main a small
mining village in South Yorkshire, near her home town of
ROTHERHAM, her birthday being the 29th November.
A firm favourite of country music from
her early years, she learned to play a guitar, Violin and
Mandolin at school and this held her in good stead whe
she took up singing.
Carolann's unique voice and love of
Country Music soon had crowds at a local restaurant where she
had started singing as a favour for a friend, asking for more.
A request from a local charity for Carolann to sing on stage
for the climax to their fund raising weekend launched her to
local stardom and gave her the confidence to start a
semi-professional career.
Starting with only 'Word of Mouth'
bookings Carolann went from strength to strength with all her
venues asking her to reappear, this became on of her main stays
in creating a firm circle of fans who she counts as friends who
follow her from venue to venue. Two local Agencies soon took
Carolann on their books. Here booking calender then began to
bloom.
Carolann went on to make her first
recording during 1998 called "SINGING
FOR MY SUPPER", a
reference to her humble beginnings, And Toured in the USA
singing at Venues in Florida, Georgia and Tennessee including
the Ryman Auditorium. In 1999 she toured several US States
including North Carolina and Branson Missouri.
In May 2001 Carolann both started work on
her second album "BY
REQUEST" [ Having a
number of songs played on Local Radio stations] and teamed up
with a Lead Guitarist Andy Spivey, who had worked with several
top bands, to form the Dixie Diamonds Duo.
Their first Album "A
TOUCH OF FEVER" was
released in August 2002 and received rave reviews in Magazines
and on various Radio shows and has been requested from DJ's
from Australia, Holland and Malta as well as the USA.
Due to pressure for her Solo work the Duo
split in December 2004 and Carolann once again concentrated on
her Solo career. With work and Tours building up Carolann
had to make do with re releasing "SINGING
FOR MY SUPPER"
during 2005. As a massive build up of Solo gigs from March 2005
was taking place right through to the end of 2006.
Although Carolann set time on one side
for Studio Work for a new CD for May 2006 this deadline passed
with only 3 songs recorded, so pressure was on once again.
However the new CD
"EASY ON THE EYES" was
completed in November 2006 and is now available from The Gigs
or direct from the web site.
Carolann had some 150 gigs booked for
2007, and started a new Duo and Band for Occassional Club,
Festival and Corporate work. An Appearence in September
2007 opening for Mr. Abassador of Country Music Himself,
Mr. George Hamilton IV at the Brigg
Pavilion, plus a tour to
the USA during November / December 2007. together
with Christmas and New Years eve Parties rounded off 2007
on a high note..
Carolann started off 2008 on another high
note with some 180 bookings. But March and April proved a
really sad time for Carolann who had to contend with Her
Husband being ill and Losing her Mother whom She adored at the
same time, but because of Carolanns professionalism even though
She had to cancell over two months work, All of the Venues she
was booked into immediately gave her booking either later in
the year when she could fit them in or booked her back for
2009. The set back was short lived however when in July
Carolann found that she had been nominated for “UK
Female Country Artiste of the Year” a real Honour
for this hard working woman.
This together with Carolann’s new
Radio Show “Ladies Night” on www.ukcountryradio.com
plus time set aside for a New CD “BETWEEN
HEAVEN & HELL” which
was brought out in Early 2008 is sure to see that
Carolann can look forward to another bumper year.
However, Carolann is also looking to find
some Agents in Southern England or even Further afield for a
couple of Tours Down South or abroad either as
Solo/Duo or with the band during sometime in 2009 and 2010.
to fit round gigs the 100 plus Gigs already booked.
One of Carolann's attractions on stage is
her sheer love of Country Music that comes shining through, her
knowledge of the Country Scene in that she picks songs that
cater for both those that wish to just listen to the music and
those that wish to line dance and she manages to include in her
act both New and Traditional Country that keeps all those at
the venue happy. And of course a sparkling voice and
personality that makes her new fans into friends.
