I am sending love and greetings from London town to all my faithful friends who have supported my music so loyally x x x May 2013 be a year of magic and excitement for you all 🙂

This is my first email newsletter since November 2012 partly because I have been playing concerts in wonderful locations including Poznan in Poland – thank you Barka UK Charity organisation for allowing me to play some incredible concerts for Poznan’s homeless community as well as in China – big thanks to Peter Cocks and the Private Widdle Club for inviting me to play at Shenzhen Fringe Festival, a truly incredible experience where I shared my English/Polish tunes to the Chinese people 🙂

As you may already know my fourth album Paszport was released in Poland on 17th Sept 2012 and in Great Britain on 11th Nov 2012 marking Remembrance Sunday in GB and National Independence Day in Poland, Thank you to you all for all your support 🙂 and gorgeous messages on facebook and email – I wanted to share with you the responses from the British media which have been somewhat remarkable. Big thanks go to all those journalists who have written so eloquently about my music – Ian Anderson of FRoots magazine, Neil Spencer from the Observer link to feature here , Robin Denselow of the Guardian link to review here, Clive Davis of the Sunday Times Culture magazine for nominating Paszport at no 4 in the Sunday Times World music chart’s albums of the year 2012 , Nick Coleman from the Independent link to review here, amongst journalists from the Telegraph, Q, Mojo, Uncut, Songlines and Polish journalists Alicja Borkowska of the Polish Express, Jakub Ryszko of Goniec link to feature here as well as the Dziennik Polski link to feature here, Cooltura and Kirsty Lang from BBC Radio 4’s Front Row for my wonderful interview.

KC Quotes :
 
– ‘Carr is a fine example of that much-maligned beast we call Authenticity…’
– ‘Her idiosyncrasy as a musician meant she’d have to forge ahead under her own steam – even the most avowedly avant labels fight shy of butterflies they can’t easily net… ‘
– ‘She’s a true original, standing out like the spark generated by a Swan Vesta applied to a cigarette in the Blackout.’
