Charlotte O’Connor is taking time out from recording her debut album, to embark on an experience of a lifetime, a tour of the UK with her acoustic band in a 1970’s VW campervan, playing a mixture of Quiksilver stores, and music venues.

At only 18, Charlotte has already laid the foundations of what will no doubt be a long and successful career in the music industry. The beautiful, confident and often too modest singer songwriter from Blackburn has, since signing with The Mel Bush Organisation (Led Zeppelin, Queen, Sir Elton John, David Bowie, David Essex, Vanessa Mae) in 2007, built a cult internet fan base of well over 1,000,000 already. This attracted the brand ‘Quiksilver’, whom Charlotte now works closely with as an official ambassador. In December 2008, Charlotte signed a worldwide record deal with Columbia Records, and is currently putting together her debut album.

Charlotte will be releasing her debut single ‘Headrush’ this Autumn. Ahead of this, she will spend most of August travelling the UK in a VW campervan on a tour sponsored by Quiksilver, she will perform with her two acoustic band members .

She will be selling her debut EP entitled ‘The First Five’ at her shows, along with some self designed t-shirts and a limited edition necklace’s produced by Quiksilver. The tour will also be documented through weekly videos uploaded to her sites, daily tweets, and regular blogs.

All shows are free entry.
