Kat Arney has been making music since before she was tall enough to reach the piano keys. Now still not tall enough to reach the keys, she plays harp, clarinet, bass clarinet, spoons and more or less anything else she can get her hands on.
Kat is often found playing with the Cambridge-based eclectic acoustic/Indian outift Sunday Driver Sunday Driver, but freely admits to being a complete musical whore who will go with anyone (email me or message me for session work!). Also available for weddings, funerals and Bar Mitzvahs.
Currently she's working with Digitonal, The Shadow Orchestra, Bussetti and others. She recently contributed harp and bass clarinet to Kat Vipers' critically acclaimed "Summer Bloody Time" EP. She's even dabbled in the world of drum'n'bass (clarinet) with MoeFoe, and recently recorded with The Beaufort Scale.
Kat also occasionally plays in the world's first harp-hop outift, Kingdom of Meerkats, featuring members of Belleruche, appears twice a month at the Snooty Fox in North London with gypsy jazz band Ultrafox, and has her own classical harp spot in the Spitz Bistro in East London.
In her real life, Kat's a professional science communicator for Cancer Research UK, and in her spare time she's a freelance writer and radio broadcaster with the Naked Scientists. She is also an avid knitter. Kat's hobby is staying awake for extended periods of time.

Hi beautiful! How are you? Working hard? The sun is shining here in Copenhagen, so everybody is in a much better mood - me too! kisses Henrik - Nordic Bollywood-soul. New webpage and album: www. onenation. dk
Solid Earth and what? the folk present: beats, roots and leaves, an eight hour charity session of musical goodness at Manchester’s best pub in nearly the countryside: Jackson’s Boat in Sale Water Park. All proceeds to MSF in Darfur.
Thanks Kat, I'm fine and have heavy jetlag after my trip to India and UK. But the record is finished and the 12 tracks have all been mixed again by professionals, so I'm happy all though we still have NO recordcompany :-). Six new mixes are on myspace. How are YOU? Hugs Henrik - Nordic Bollywood-soul!
It seems like years since the last Moorfest happened and to be honest I think the weather was very much a factor in whether people enjoyed themselves or not. Some thrived in the mud whilst others wept until their dads could pick them up. Moorfest is still carving an identity for itself and in the three years that it has been established I think I can say that the one thing that most people love about it is the friendly atmosphere, and this gig is a good opportunity to meet up with friends that perhaps you haven't seen since the festival, to make new friends, enjoy quality music, get a flavour of Moorfest if you haven't already been and also to talk to the organisers in order to give your opinions on how to improve the festival.
KLEZMA TRIP - Are simply an awesome live band. Featuring the amazing musicians that are Giuliano Modarelli, Bill Laurance, Sam Hobbs and Joe these guys had a packed Brudenell dancing all night to infectious eastern grooves which blends aspects of funk, jazz, reggae and indian music into a medicine which you just want spoon after spoon of. Although they are yet to have there own myspace, you can get a flavour here:.. http://www.myspace.com/giulianomodarelli
VESSELS - These guys absolutely rocked Moorfest with mucho hardness and aplomb. They're always getting better, bigger and probably older too. Massive soundscapes, deliciously simple melodic guitar meanderings, vocals that haunt but are still comforting and an intensity that sucks you directly into their world. http://www.myspace.com/vesselsband
COWTOWN - Instant party merchants and connoisseurs of novelty, the Cowtown crew are like a reflex to an injection of arabic coffee directly into both cheeks of your bottom that remains long after they've finished. Skewed sharp guitar riffs, electro kitsch synths and sparse and hard rock drums is one way of summing them u
