World and roots music. It gave her the chance to work alongside the likes

Brooks, Billy Cobham and Nigel Kennedy. Following on from this ,
she co-wrote and performed 3 tracks with Billy Cobham on his album The Traveler.
She also met Simon Emmerson, producer of the

World Records. Subsequently Simon co-produced her CD GARDEN
OF THE SENSES.
CAROLE'S
COMMENTS
Being
at Peter Gabriel's studios for Recording Week
in conjunction with the WOMAD festival was
perhaps THE musical experience
of a lifetime. Besides the great live gigs, imagine interacting in
the studio with all these incredible musicians and producers from around the
globe, each one bringing their own musical heritage to the mix. Creative
bliss! There were moments in the studio when the only common language
that was spoken was music. At the risk of sounding very 60's, it all went
down in an atmosphere of brotherhood and sisterhood. Not to mention the fact
that it was one long party! Sessions went on until 5 or 6 AM. Like most of
us I hardly slept so I wouldn't miss anything! Peter's visionary approach
in founding Real World Records is awesome. By allowing me to experience the
scope of that vision at Recording Week a door of new possibilities was opened.
I finally decided to write the music I'd wanted to record for years. A lot
of the people I met at Peter's helped me do it… most importantly, my CO-producer,
Simon Emmerson.
