Kate has been compared to Rickie Lee Jones, Natalie Merchant, and Joni Mitchell, and has been heavily influenced by the song writing of Tom Waits & Bob Dylan. In July 2007 she recorded her debut solo EP with Nigel Stonier at the Loft Studios (Liverpool), feauturing tracks 'Awen's Song', The Lament of the Sailor's Wife', 'Fire', Joni's Emancipation' and 'Beautiful Day'.
Kate has enjoyed exposure and regular airplay on BBC Radio Wales from DJ's Alan Thompson and Amy Wadge, and has spent the last 12 months gigging across wales and creating a local buzz performing with folk duo, Bluebird and Ember. Kate’s music has also received support from singer/ songwriters Amy Wadge, Sandi Thom & Thea Gilmore, and has enjoyed great reviews from Folk and Roots magazine, MU magazine and Acoustic magazine.
This summer Kate has performed across Wales on the festival scene, at Sesiwn Fawr, The Square Festival, Mid Mad in Aberystwth, Hwyl Haf at Devil's Bridge and more recently at the Word's and Music Festival.
In October 2008 Kate supported Eliza Carthy and the Waterson/Carthy band at the Words and Music Festival in Cheshire. Kate is currently taking time out from gigging to finish writing her first full length album which she plans to record live, as a public performance at the end of the year.
