Claudine West is a multi instrumentalist singer songwriter based in Nottingham U.K. She started playing guitar and piano at 13. Drums followed. Then jammed blues and jazz music on live mic nights and with local musicians. Rock bands, then folk bands followed. Influenced by her love for all things acoustic, melodic, her love and talent for song writing and recording developed when she met a lead guitarist Graham Skelton-Ruth (Grimm) whose talent on Electric guitar while suffering from multiple sclerosis was awe inspiring. Thus began a 10 year partnership and close friendship. A home recording studio then developed. Many songs were written and recorded. A lot of whisky (for Claudine, coffee for Grimm) was consumed and good times were had. But tragic circumstances ended the joint effort when Grimm committed suicide. Claudine spent 2 years in the wilderness. Then (by pure chance met again a local talented singer/songwriter Karen Turner. They had met during live mic nights and recorded during the 'studio years'. This new partnership carries on. Watch this space!
