Bar Pandora

Bar Pandora is the project of Coventry-based musician, writer, artist & performer, Charlie Tophill. She uses audio collage, journal extracts, samples and field recordings to create patchwork compositions sewn together with melodic and lyrical threads. Charlie’s approach to writing music is playfully unstructured, often improvisational and instinctive, seeking empowerment and joy in uninhibited creativity and lived experience.

Bar Pandora’s live performances are earning her a solid fan base and a fluid band line-up means one gig can be quite different to the next. Her performances are intriguing and exciting, adding sampling and live looping to a three-piece band, building electrifying worlds of sound to offset her beguiling crystalline vocals. In the words of one reviewer: “Bar Pandora’s mesmerising live incarnation is going to knock your socks off. Charlie has an immense charisma & stage presence and the way they played off each other to realise her unusual & haunting compositions was breath taking.” (Hot Music Live)
