Life on tour is not always easy… break downs, smelly feet, dog poo etc are just part of the journey… and without them, the trip would simply never be as much fun!

Quiksilver women caught up backstage with brand ambassador Charlotte O’Connor as she toured the UK supporting Newton Faulkner. Take a peak into her life as she prepares herself for the worldwide launch of her debut album.
.

As if the release of her up and coming album wasn’t enough to look forward to, our very own Quiksilver Woman Charlotte O’Connor is about to embark on a tour of the UK with another British melody maker, Newton Falkner.

Any Newton Falkner fans that haven’t heard Charlotte yet will be in for a treat, and vice versa. With her playful warm vocals Charlotte is the perfect accompaniment for Newton’s rhythmic guitar playing and soulful songs that will leave your ears ringing with the sound of optimism. 

They’ve got everywhere from Bournemouth to Dublin covered, so come inform the cold and chill out to these guys instead - this is a tour not to be missed!

Soulful and charming, Quiksilver Woman Charlotte O’Connor has the strenght of the big stars when she is on stage, capable of blowing crowds away with her voice, her personality and her music. Watch out on this raising star and, for now, listen to Charlotte performing live her song ” These arms ”

Photoshoots can take long days… the good thing about working with musitians is that you can end up having an out of the blue private concert wherever you are…

Check out Quiksilver woman Charlotte O’Connor performing live her song “Bridges” at Green Park in London a few weeks ago…

Charlotte wears the “Little Sister” Quiksilver Women’s jacket. Find it in your nearest Quiksilver Store.

Now and again… Quiksilver ask me to do gigs at different Quiksilver stores around Europe… And i seriously do love doing them… So when they asked me to do another one… I was quick to say yes…..and then they mentioned it was in Paris….any girl would love to visit paris.

So me and my manager got the Eurostar and within two hours….we were in Paris… was a bit weird but good

Here are some pictures of paris and the gig…

Not at the top of the eiffel..just like at the 2nd bit..you get what i mean..was still high though..:/

It’s not that we wouldn’t appreciate such things as International Women’s Day, but the thing with us Quiksilver Women is just that we are independent females and we don’t need others to set up occasions to celebrate ourselves. That’s why we European Quiksilver Ambassadors gathered up four days after 2009’s Internationel Women’s day to celebrate female creativity at its best! Cuz everyday is a Quiksilver women’s day!
