Carol Hodge Reveals “The Moan Of A Thousand Years” Video & New Album “The Crippling Space Between”

Yorkshire dwelling singer-songwriter Carol Hodge is a wonderful musical dichotomy. With her roots and ethics firmly set in punk as keyboard player and long-term collaborator with Crass frontman Steve Ignorant and his current band Slice Of Life, Carol is also a uniquely gifted song-writer and as able to conjure up beautiful pop-infused, heart-wrenching melodies as she is screaming into the face of authority and injustice. She describes herself as a ‘seven-fingered pianist’. Carol was born with a rare condition called cleft type symbrachydactyly, which means Carol has just two fingers on her left hand. This hasn’t held her back as her impressive CV is testament to. Carol also performs as a keyboardist/backing vocalist with various touring bands including Ryan Hamilton, Crass/Steve Ignorant, and has also guested with Ginger Wildheart, Headsticks and The Membranes.

Carol Hodge has now released her third full length, The Crippling Space Between, that is now available via Midnight Stamp Records, she has also revealed the video for the album’s opening track, The Moan Of A Thousand Years, that was filmed at her spiritual home, The Parish in Huddersfield. Carol Hodge will playing an intimate show at Huddersfield’s The Peppercorn Vegan Cafe on the 1st October, she will also be appearing with Crass‘s Steve Ignorant tonight at Nottingham’s The Old Cold Store and at North East Calling tomorrow, the 25th September.

The Crippling Space Between is now available on CD, vinyl and digital formats here
