and a lot more to come

In 2015, we merged 1inmusic with the Singer-Songwriters* worldwide non-profit project which is about the music legacy of performing songwriters worldwide. It includes a radio and several writings on various aspect of the subject including the artists, the musical styles, the lyrical themes and more. The website had the ambition to hum if not sing the praises of our musical heroes, performing songwriters from all over the world. They echo in their melodies, words, rhythms, strings and more, what it is to be human. In the expression of their creativity, exorcising our deepest heartfelt tides, we find our humanity, rediscover our history, celebrate life or escape reality and sometimes even understand better both the world and ourselves. Although this is arguably subjective, it is at least a glance and a share of the world through its performing songwriters. You will find that a specific category has been reserved for songwriters on this site and the main radio show with a podcast here remains “I Write The Songs”. It made sense to bring them together because the teams were the same and it made us more efficient.

* A singer-songwriter is a musician who writes, composes and often sings their own material including lyrics and melodies. They often provide the sole accompaniment to an entire composition or song, typically using a guitar or piano. As a result these also include so-called performing-songwriters including writers who might not sing in their song but at least play an essential instrument of the song including therefore performing “instrumentals” composers. A number of other well-known musicians may write some of their own songs, but are usually called singers instead.

Interview with Gordon Giltrap (MBE)’s protegee, Carrie Martin

Interview with Gordon Giltrap (MBE)’s protegee, Carrie Martin

Born in Hull, Carrie developed something of a local reputation while still in her teens, as an acoustic guitarist and singer/songwriter. She fronted bands in the 90s before casting her music aside in order to raise her children. Her guitar went untouched for some two decades (!) until a chance meeting with guitar virtuoso Gordon Giltrap, MBE changed her life. Close mentoring from Gordon saw her take a huge leap forward, attracting endorsements from Vintage Guitars, G7th Capos and Martin SP Strings. Her latest album Seductive Sky features guests Gordon Giltrap, keyboard maestro Oliver Wakeman and legendary guitarist Elliott Randall, along with Daniel Karl Cassidy, younger brother of the late Eva Cassidy, with whom Carrie has sometimes been compared herself. The album is a magnificent snapshot of an artist at the peak of her creativity and gaining her fine reviews and a second tour of Canada. 1 In Music catches up with the guitarist and songstress.
