Katy Carr is an award winning London-based performer and songwriter who sings, plays a vintage, wurlitzer electronic piano, ukulele and banjolele with her group ‘The Aviators.
Her music is shifting from trilling vocals and Gypsy jazz to cha-cha and regea. In her performance she clearly shows her love for an old-school glamour. Her songs often honor those overlooked heroes of the second world war and its aftermath. Among her inspirations are Krystyna Skarbek (Churchill’s favourite spy and Fleming’s Vesper Lynd), the exiled general Maczek (well known to people of the Netherlands), and Enigma codebreakers of Bletchley Park. Carr is a very original and intriguing musician and we are truly honored she has agreed to come to Vianden to play her first ever (and only) concert in the Grand-Dutchy.
Her concert will be preceded by a screening of a documentary film about an incredible escape from Auschwitz of Kazimierz Piechowski. Katy wrote a song, ‘Kommander’s Car’, based on the last few seconds of his escape from Auschwitz. I don't know a person who would not have goosebumps after listening to that artistic transformation by Katy of a story that one could not believe in a first place.
