About Me


Armed with whatever instruments she can get her hands on, from piano to ukelele, harmonium to the spoons, Charlot Webster battles soul with anti-folk. Her unique songs, style, voice and mood-swings journey from 1940s Hollywood glamour, to a back alley in Slough.
charlot tells THE PAST:
“If I had patience, I would have learnt one instrument, and I would have stuck to it and probably made an album years ago… Or, I don’t know, maybe I would have gone to school more and learnt something useful. But I write a song, and then try and find a new instrument to write the next song on. I get too excited to stick to one.”
charlot tells THE PRESENT:
‘Tim and I have been recording for about a year, and now we’ve nearly finished, I’m very excited about having an album. There’s loads of different stuff on there, different styles, moods etc. I don’t know if that’s a good thing, but that’s what happens when you spread making one record over a year. Lots happens in between, & I’m young, I like lots of music and I go through lots of moods, haha... It just reflects that.”
charlot tells THE FUTURE:
“I wanna be your dreamboat”
"YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE" (sitting on the floor with Les in my lounge) feat. Laura's laundry.
"I CRY (all the time)" sitting in my garden, with guest bird singing from Harold & Maude.
