Carol Hodge

Yorkshire-dwelling singer-songwriter Carol Hodge is a wonderful musical dichotomy. With her roots and

ethics firmly set in punk as a long-term collaborator with Crass frontman Steve Ignorant, Carol is currently

touring the songs of Crass around the world with The Ignorant Band, on keyboards, BVs and lead vocals.

Yet as a solo artist, Carol is also a uniquely gifted songwriter and as able to conjure up lyrically honest,

pop-infused, heart-wrenching melodies as she is screaming into the face of authority and injustice.

Described by Classic Rock as “A real talent in the realm of smart, on-the-money melodies and bittersweet

storytelling through song”, Carol describes herself as a ‘seven-fingered pianist’. She 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 established artists, including Ginger from The Wildhearts. She

has released four solo studio albums since 2018, to critical acclaim, and tours relentlessly across the UK

and Europe. She was recently awarded Track of the Week by Classic Rock magazine readers, and has

recently supported Spear Of Destiny, TV Smith, Space and Ginger Wildheart.
