From busking to the folk and bluegrass elite

Now garlanded with awards and accolades, the Carrivick sisters began their journey to membership of the folk and bluegrass elite by busking as a duo in 2006 and then graduating to indoor stages and turning professional when they left school in 2007. They tour widely and have released five studio albums, plus last year’s live album – a celebration of 10 years of success. Charlotte plays guitar, mandolin and banjo and Laura plays guitar, slide guitar and fiddle, with both singing and harmonising in the special way that sisters can.
