about
Charlotte Greig (born in Malta on 10 August 1954; died 19 June 2014) was a British folk singer-songwriter based in Cardiff, and also a novelist, playwright, and music journalist. Her songs are dark and haunting, recalling the bleakest traditional folk songs of death and loss. Her music is fairly minimalist - harmonium and brooding electric guitar. The first of her albums, Night Visiting Songs, was released in 1990. In 2007 she curated and contributed to Migrating Bird, a tribute album to the late Lal Waterson released on Honest Jon's record label. In addition, Greig's 2008 song Crows was released on a compilation album entitled The Crow Club (People Tree Records, an offshoot label of Acid Jazz Records). In 2014, Greig released "Studies in Hysteria" by Doctor Freud's Cabaret, a collection of songs in the voices of Freud's early patients, featuring a number of guest vocalists including Euros Childs, Julie Murphy, Jon Langford, and Angharad van Rijswijk.
