== Early career ==
She was born and grew up in Barrow-in-Furness, then in Lancashire, where her childhood, work and relationships provided a basis to many of her songs. She began to learn to play the guitar at the age of thirteen and was soon performing and singing at local folk clubs.〔FolkCast Podcasts (October 2006) http://www.podcastdirectory.com/podcasts/6963, retrieved on 7/1/09.〕 She left Barrow to tour in a duo with her then husband, pianist and songwriter Joe While.〔WhileandMatthews official site http://www.whileandmatthews.co.uk/Biography.htm, retrieved on 08/01/09.〕 After their divorce in 1991 she embarked on a solo career, releasing the albums ''Still on Fire'' (1991) and ''By Request'' (1992) in tape format.〔While, C. & Matthews, J. (2002) ''Words and Music''. Circuit Music, p. 15〕 The albums demonstrated English and American folk and country music influences that have all remained important in her career. The tracks included some traditional material and covers of songs by some major songwriters, but also marked her emergence as a songwriter, in particular the track ‘100 Miles’, which has been frequently covered by British and American artists. This song was also on her first CD format album ''Look at Me Now'' (1993) with others written with Nigel Stonier and her former husband, but many of the tracks were single compositions indicating a growing confidence in her own songwriting. From 1992–95 she also performed with accomplished guitarist and songwriter Ken Nicol who contributed to the high level of musicianship on ''Look at Me Now''. Their 1994 recording was eventually released as ''Shadows on the Wall'' (1995), which included three While-penned tracks from her early solo material.
