Described as a `high-spirited veteran' by the Evening Standard,
Carol joined her first groups, Shades of Grey and The Race, from
the mid '60s, and went on to sing with the bands Babylon, Delivery
and Uncle Dog before releasing her solo albums. Carol also
performed alongside Cream, Alexis Korner, John Mayall's
Bluesbreakers, The Yardbirds, The Graham Bond Organisation, Howlin'
Wolf, Buddy Guy and Freddie King. Carol lived in London amongst a
`rag popsicle bag of people' during the counter culture years. A
so-called community of freaks, immigrants, photographers, artists,
writers, musicians, filmmakers, drug dealers, models, fashionistas,
groupies and hangers-on. Described by the press as fuelled by LSD,
hashish, grass and sex, it was a time of change. Not for women
though, and Carol witnessed appalling male behaviour in the music
business. She became politicised and in 1976, performed at the
first Rock Against Racism gig and went on to support Rock Against
Sexism. Carol is still performing and is the Musical Director for
the Bloomsbury Sing for Joy Choir and The Wildflowers Choir in
Folkestone.
