The Carrivick sisters are renowned for their “sublime sibling harmonies and multi-instrumental virtuosity” and many pundits see them as likely contenders for the top of musical tree.

A telegraph critic called them “the pick of the crop” and a writer for Q Magazine observed, “their already formidable multi-instrumental skills and songwriting maturing at such a steep curve they’ll soon be orbiting far beyond anyone else”.

The good news is, twins Laura and Charlotte Carrivick will be raising the rafters of Worcester’s Huntingdon Hall, this April.

Instruments will include guitars, mandolin, fiddle, dobro, and clawhammer banjo for a style that certainly takes in its influences from far and wide.

But what are they all about?

A spokesman said: “Their style is a blend of American bluegrass and British Isles folk music, interwoven with songs inspired by the old stories and landscape of the West Country where they live.

“The Carrivick Sisters first started performing as a duo in 2006, originally as buskers before starting to play more and more proper gigs, turning professional when they left school in 2007.

“That same year, they won the South West Buskers and Street Entertainers’ Competition, gaining themselves their first spot at Glastonbury Festival, and they have gone on to perform at major festivals in mainland Europe and Canada.”

The spokesman added: “The Carrivick Sisters have numerous awards, award nominations and albums under their belt, the most recent album being 10 Years Live, a celebration of a decade of performing together.

“Alongside their work as a duo, Charlotte and Laura also perform with progressive bluegrass quartet, Cardboard Fox, and fast rising stars, Midnight Skyracer, an all-female bluegrass band.

“Don’t miss this formidable duo, performing at Worcester’s Huntingdon Hall this April.”

The date for the diary is Thursday April 11, from 7.30pm.
