Charlie Dore

Charlie Dore is one of the UK’s most respected songwriters, whose songs have won two ASCAP awards, an Ivor Novello nomination, both the Overall Grand and the Folk Prize from the International Acoustic Music Awards.

Her 2017 album Dark Matter won both Album of the Year and Best Lyrics from the US Indie Acoustic Project and she released her 10th album, Like Animals in June 2020, receiving the FATEA Female Artist of the Year award.

While her own albums favour her more eclectic leanings, she is one of a handful of UK writers to achieve success across many genres, defined by the range of artists to have recorded her songs, including Tina Turner, George Harrison, Celine Dion, Lisa Stansfield, Paul Carrack, Ricky Ross and Jimmy Nail, notching up along the way from Top 10 hits in Italy, Germany and France, a US No 4 and a UK No 1.

She has also worked as an actress in theatre, film, (the award-winning Ploughman’s Lunch) TV, Radio with Eric Idle and co-founded London Comedy Impro venue, The Hurricane Club, performing alongside many comedy icons including Bill Bailey, Stuart Lee and Robin Williams. She has also composed for three BBC drama series and two films. Her own hit, Pilot of the Airwaves is still a worldwide radio favourite.

Charlie continues writing for and with other artists and enjoys mentoring emerging songwriters when she’s not recording, touring or performing online with her own band.
