Charlotte’s Auntie Caroline is an all-round entertainer. Growing up, Charlotte would tag along to her gigs in pubs and clubs around Cardiff whenever she was allowed. Charlotte calls Caroline her biggest musical inspiration. Over a cup of tea, they talk about growing up with Maria Church, near death experiences and being drunk at midnight mass.
Charlotte Church hosts a series of intimate conversations about belonging, working class identity and the unbreakable bonds of family.
