Carol Lee Sampson – singer/songwriter
Originating from Jersey in the Channel Islands, Carol has been living in Malvern since 1995, is married to Gareth, (who is a great bass player), with whom she has a son Jack, who is 6. She started penning songs at the age of 9… and they just keep on coming! “I love writing songs that people can relate to – life’s journey takes us through many ups and downs, and there is always a song to help us through! My current CD “Back to Life” is a bit like a journal of the last ten years of my life.” Carol has recorded several albums to date, and has many other songs published by Kingsway Music – a Christian publishing company which is based both here and in the USA. She is currently working on a new CD which will be completed in the next few months. For bookings or further information: carolleesampson@gmail.com
