Carmel is an influential British jazz and pop band that first sprung onto the music scene in the early 1980s. Formed by singer Carmel McCourt, bassist Jim Parris, and drummer Gerry Darby, the trio made a name for themselves with their distinct blend of jazz, soul, blues, and pop, combined with McCourt's emotionally rich, soulful vocals. Their unique sound was encapsulated in their debut album "The Drum Is Everything" in 1984, which received critical acclaim.

With a career that spans several decades, the band's catalogue demonstrates a commitment to musical exploration and artistic integrity. Albums like "The Falling" and "Everybody's Got a Little... Soul" have further etched Carmel's place in the pantheon of soulful, genre-bending music.
