Playing wherever she can from street corners to bars, a tendency reflected in her lyrical vignettes of the powerful minutæ of human life. She is unambiguously talented. But the debate must be whether her vocal ability or profound lyricism is most triumphant. Hear her live to be too spellbound for it to matter. https://www.facebook.com/CaraLudlowMusic/ Poltimore Festival: http://poltimorefestival.co.uk/ PearShaped: http://pearshapedexeter.com/ Provide A Pad: www.facebook.com/provideapad
