Cardboard Carousel is a duo comprising of Richard and Calliopi Dawson.
With a wide variety of influences, they produce a unique contemporary/folk sound centered on hauntingly beautiful melodies & smooth harmonies.
Having played extensively around South East London, released both an EP and full length album, soon to be touring South Africa in 2016, Cardboard Carousel capture audiences and listeners from the outset.
Combining their passion for music and storytelling, their songs and lyrics are both captivating and thought provoking.
"Soothing folk performed with remarkable grace by a multi-tasking guitarist and elegantly in-control double bassist. I loved – loved – the vocal interplay these guys work seamlessly into their songs. Consistently pitch-perfect and clearly the result of untold hours of rigorously disciplined practice, it really blew me away."
