Charlie Smith – MVT Fundraiser
Charlie Smith is an Alternative Acoustic artist from Hampshire, UK.
In April, Charlie will be embarking on a spring tour fundraising for the Music Venue Trust. This will include six different grassroots music venues around England, including on 16th April at Northern Guitars, supported by local Singer-songwriter Isla Mae.
Charlie Smith
My name might be common, but my style is alternative. I’m Charlie Smith, a fiercely independent artist from Southampton, UK. Not only do I record and perform my own music, but I also play a part in the local grassroots music scene by regularly hosting my own music events. It’s a real privilege to be able to organise my April tour, which raises funds for The Music Venue Trust and supports the vital work they do. As I always say, support independent music and use your local venues before you lose them.
Isla Mae
Isla Mae is an 19-year-old singer-songwriter orginally from Cambridge, England, who tells stories through music ranging in style from Folk or Acoustic to Indie and Pop. Her songs have been likened to those of Lily Allen, Lucy Spraggan, Billie Eilish, KT Tunstall and Phoebe Bridgers and the relatable lyrics are frequently described as mature beyond her years. Isla uses music to process complicated emotions and hopes that people are moved by and feel seen in what she creates.
