Charlotte Yates
'One of our most potent songwriters', Charlotte Yates has released seven solo albums plus a broader catalogue of collaborative and compilation works. No stranger to the format of pairing famous words with music, she has devoted albums to James K Baxter, Hone Tuwhare, Witi Ihimaera and Katherine Mansfield.
'I spun a programme around the Baxter CD that Charlotte Yates got together. That album was a magical project and became of the musical anchors in my New Zealand Music course at Waikato University.' William Dart, New Horizons, RNZ
