Hello..I'm Charlotte.
I write songs for you to sing
poem-stories for you to perform.
I also sing and perform my songs and poems
Welcome!

Comments?: charlotte@holly-house.fsnet.co.uk
I write around a very broad range
of subjects/styles.

Update:
The first song below is Ritalin Johnnie.
About the interesting phenomenon
of drugs. On the one hand ordinary people
who experiment with various drugs are castigated.
On the other, doctors are prepared to drug
a large range of children, because they are too
lively. Across the Western world children sit
like little lambs in school, instead of
rushing about and breaking things.
To achieve this, doctors are giving them "Ritalin".
Those other 'professionals', the teachers,
collude in this, fully aware of what is going on.
Do we really need to drug our children in this wholesale manner?
Can't we find another way of helping them to fit in with society?
Cranage Airmen - Defenders of Peace,
written about 96 Squadron's defence of Liverpool,
during the Blitz (1941).
Byley Under Pressure,
is a protest song.
Maldives, is my take on the beautiful
Maldive Islands, which I visited many years ago.
A team of Maldivian atheletes came to Knutsford,
the town which 'adopted' them for the
Commonwealth Games, during the summer of 2002.
They were wonderful people to meet.
Steam an Temper, won the Poynton Folk Festival
Songwriting Competition 2002.
It is about those unsung women who had
large families, and still found space for more.
They rarely left their own kitchens - and worked -
often until they dropped.
Send out The Hawk and The Dove,
about the great love shown by those on the aeroplanes, which were forced to
crash into buildings in USA - and about those
in the buildings - on 11th September, 2001.
The following three songs are
about refugees, who frighten us - and who need our help;
Pashtun Parcel,about Pashtun - and other women
- who are obliged to look like parcels of cloth
instead of like humans;
etc. etc. etc.
