BIOGRAPHY
I first picked up the guitar at the age of 12. My memories of singing go back further than that though, to the age of 5. I am one of 6 children, born in London England. My fathersâ family came from Cork, and my mothers from Dublin. Everyone sang or played something. I am so grateful for that bedrock of musical experience as it was a joy and also a great training for the ear.
I was introduced at a young age to folk music âfrom across the pondâ â Bob Dylan, Baez etc. At the same time I was listening to classical composers such as Vaughan Williams and Debussy. Soul music tantalized me too.
I donât remember when I first started writing songs, but I think it started with poems, and that is still true today, the words often come first and the tune follows. The simplest way to describe the music is âfolk/Celticâ I am told the music has a soothing healing quality, âa little bit of heaven in a busy worldâ.

REVIEWS
Charity has a beautiful and haunting voice. âThe Patience of the Fishermanâ is all Charityâs own work apart from the old Irish folk song âSea Feverâ and âMotherless Childâ which was recorded live in Ely Catherdral. Charityâs interpretative powers do justice to her own celtic and folk- tinged compositions. Very much all the way through one can hear the depths of love for the restless moving of the sea and nature in Charityâs writings, especially in âCome and lay your Headâ and âThe Beachâ. This is a lady with great depth of thought and character. For those with an ear for wistfully, contemplative music, this is thoroughly recommended. - Diane Cromie â Cross Rhythms

There is something about the sea that draws people to it, holidaymakers, swimmers, fishermanâ¦.. It has many moods, dark and brooding, light and glistening. Hidden dangers and safe havens. In folk terms itâs too easy to dismiss the sea with its shanties. Fortunately Charity Quin has decided to try and capture the mutifaceted environment in a cycle of song, and a damned fine job she makes of it too. Voiced like a siren, she evokes many images and thoughts about the watery domain and its interaction with life - Neil King FATEA
