Glenn Carter Music

About Glenn Carter Music

I was born and raised in the suburbs of North London, England. With Pink Floyd and Deep Purple buzzing around my brain. My mother finally succumbed to buying me a guitar when I was aged nine. My first guitar was the equivalent of a cheese grater with horrendously thick strings!
The Beatles were everywhere in the sixties, but I found myself drawn to the more unusual,
eclectic bands of the era. The Doors, Golden Earring ,
The Who, Be Bop, Deluxe, T Rex, Steely Dan, Humble Pie and Genesis, amongst many others.

I was strongly drawn to and heavily influenced by prominent guitar players: Jimi
Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Joe Walsh, Nils Lofgren, Carlos Santana and Dave Gilmour.

The calling to join my first band in the eighties put me anxiously, with a guitar around my neck, and in
front a microphone for the first time. My first band, “Lionheart” was a straight up rock n roll band,
where I cut my teeth on classic rock tunes, playing around the Bournemouth area in the south of
England.
