A voice that sings our history and sings our present” Carol Grimes

“I have been singing for my supper since the late 1960s, working in Bands, then as a Singer Songwriter, Performance Poet, and in later years as a Workshop facilitator, Voice Movement Therapist and Musical Director with choirs.  In the early 1970s I became an activist.  At first, in my local community in North Kensington, being the first Musician to step up for Rock against Racism and Sexism. Performing in the UK and Internationally with my own Music and Contemporary composers such as the composer Orlando Gough, who directed The Shout, a 16-piece Choir/ Theatre company. Writing has been a long-time passion and I have had several articles published around my work with young people and local communities.  In the late 1990s I founded the Sing for Joy Choirs, for people with Neurological, MS and other conditions working with them for many years. I recorded my own music in the UK, USA, Sweden, The Isle of Jura, Romney Marsh and Poland and collaborated with several other artists over the years. My life book, The Singers Tale, was published in 2017.  I love the writing as much as I love the Music”.

‘A spine -chillingly powerful singer rooted in the blues who embraces vocal ideas from outside the African-American tradition, Grimes is forthright, moving and imaginative’ 

John Fordham. The Guardian

‘At her most intense, Grimes sings with a passion which is positively unnerving.‘
