Charlotte Yates Charlotte Yates.
Plainsong
Most of plainsong’s twelve tracks were written when Charlotte was the Artist-in-Residence at the Christchurch Arts Centre, April-May 2002. Plainsong has a dynamic cohesive quality, with Yates showing real development both as a musician/arranger and particularly as a songwriter. The resulting album is easily addictive and will appeal to fans of great NZ songwriters such as Neil Finn, Bic Runga, Anika Moa and the like. Plainsong was arranged and produced by Charlotte. While she handles all guitar and vocal work, several highly respected Wellington musicians appear.

Track List.
1] Joan of Arc
2] The Ruins of Love
3] She Went Straight
4] Long Winter
