Ladies and Gentlemen! Orphans and Dukes! Roll up, Roll up!
We are proud to introduce (to you, good folk) the mystifying, yet magnificent Catherine And The Owl! The quintessential sextet of mystery and melody alike.
Revel in the music and majesty of these subtle hearts! Marvel at the beauty and horror that shapes all great works! Join us now in these fading times! We swear to you, our comrades, that we shall never disappoint!
Fresh from recording and mixing their second self released E.P for imminent release, the Exeter-based sextet Catherine and the Owl are now preparing their touring schedule for 2010.
The band, who span genres from alternative folk to indie-pop rock, built a good festival pedigree in 2009 – playing at major events across Devon such as Bradninch Festival, the rapidly emerging Wattsfest and Lynton and Lynmouth’s Llama Festival.
They are now looking to consolidate their previous festival success and expand in to new territories, having honed their live skills supporting such acts as indie legend Wojtek Godsisz (formerly of Symposium), American hipsters Enon and Ill Ease, BBC Radio 2 folk award nominated Jim Causley and BBC Radio 2 folk award winner Jackie Oates.
Catherine and the Owl stand out from other bands through their use of a diverse range of instruments ranging from rock standards - guitars, drums, keyboards and electric bass through to more eclectic selections such as glockenspiel, flute, clarinet, mandolins and musical saw to the outright curiosity that is their homebuilt Theremin.
Never failing to entertain as a live band, Catherine and the Owl have received praise from the music press for their debut E.P ‘I’ and have twice featured as Exeter FM’s band of the week.
Praise for Catherine And The Owl:
"CATO balance, violently dramatic emotions and themes with an inventive acoustic style and meticulous playing." - Mark Dishman of Rocks Magazine.
“Possibly one of the most powerful, haunting tracks I’ve heard in a long time” - James Santer of Exeter FM on the track 'The Cellar Song.'
"These songs are not just extraordinary, they possess strong melodies and memorable guitar lines to win over even the most hardened indie purist." - Dave Urwin of Live Music Scene, review of EP 'I.'

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem, & some songs, on myspace... Poem 187 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): A SOUTH SHIELDS WALKABOUT - AUTUMN 2001
Out of the museum-and-gallery (Wiser on Cookson and the local way), Down Ocean Road with, to the right of me, Its eateries and, left, neat places to stay; Before, on either side, Marine Parks - The southern-one a most beautiful place, Teeming with moorhens, swans, grebes and mallards In a small lake at a scenic-hill’s base.
Then (holding chips from the parade’s cafe And, thus, a flock of gulls squawking above) Onto the South Pier I made my way: Seeing seaweed over rocks - like a glove - And high-and-dry sands held from transgression By growth of grass and the weaving of wood, Plus, in the dim light of a sleepy sun, Fishing boats returning to Tynemouth’s hood.

It was such a culture shock to have my daughter start school and for us stand in one place all year but it's been a massive healing time for everyone and just as well we did stand still considering what has been manifesting!! It may seem so very hard at times but the difficulties are the mirror for the beautiful possibilities inside of us and between us! I appreciate it when you share warm fuzzies and updates about your own experiences and ways of being. You can be a teacher and an inspiration. x x x

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace... Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY
As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.
