Katharine Blake is the founder, main composer and musical director of the unique choral group the Mediaeval Baebes. The band was formed in 1996 and has released five studio albums, two compilation albums, a live album and a DVD. The Baebes have toured extensively, mainly throughout the UK, Canada and America.

The other project Katharine is known for is Miranda Sex Garden of which Katharine was a founder member, lead singer, songwriter and lyricist. Formed in 1990 the band started out as a busking Madrigal trio. Later mutating into an avant garde gothic rock band, the group has released five studio albums, toured throughout Europe and America and supported bands such as Hole, Einsturzende Neubauten, Depeche Mode and Nick Cave.

Katharine has just finished her first solo album Midnight Flower, which is a collaboration with Nick Marsh, featuring guest performances from members of the Mediaeval Baebes and Miranda Sex Garden. You can listen to four of the tracks on this page and purchase the album through the above link.

Katharine's other projects include a collaboration with Nick Marsh whose album ..A Universe Between Us , she produced, played and sang on, guest performances with the experimental Jazz group Blowpipe, and numerous cabaret and Jazz performances over the years, many of which have taken place at art happenings such as The Waikiki Lounge and self hosted events such as Slappers and Queens of Sheba .

Cascade...
Tears flow endlessly,
An echo of an unfinished heartache...
The power of sadness,
So overwhelming,
It leaves you numb with hollow,
It leaves you deep in the hallow,
The sanctity of loves departed.

Cascades,
A waterfall of weeping,
In the night,
Never sleeping,
It fills you with darkness,
Longing for your senses to return,
The pain of nevermore,
Forever more,
An eternity of unwanted incarnations,
Lonesome manifestations...mental incarcerations...

Karma?
Weird wired wyrd...
The unpleasantness,
Understatement,
The anguish compels you,
To finally collapse at the foot of a faded dream,
Your life endlessly bound to a yearning escaping...

Hold on,
One more moment,
This lacrimosa,
Not as fleeting as joy,
Lasts a measure of breath longer,
Can you feel your hearts ice?
It builds as you enter the nothingness of conformity...
The erosion of your individuality,
To a world without heroes,
But in the cascade of tears,
Are hopes,
The hope of a new age,
An enlightened age of harmonious consequence,
Understanding...

I see the black filling my grave,
My hollow eyes,
Vacant stare of pains endlessly feasting upon my vigour,
My soul,
I abandoned myself one moment and then hell...
Its dogs of war...
My love it tore from me,
I am here...
I am still wanting,
A single kiss of meaning!

May angels sing of passions un-begun!
May love conquer through freedom of what was won!

Live one more day,
See the sadness fade to grey,
Lighter lighter,
Then finally...
Joy!!

THANKS FOR THE ADD
ONE LOVE FROM EAST LONDON.



LOVE IS NOT GUILTY


Why is it so hard for me to say hello,
You’ve hit my heart like an arrow,
Give me your endless breath,
So I could cheat death,
I feel your heart beat in my chest.



I’m walking in your direction,
All I feel is pain,
Love is a losing game,
Feels like I’m falling from the sky,
I have no wings to fly,
Why can’t you just be mine?
Life is a one way mission,
So I need your heart to listen,



Get to know me,
You might get lonely,
I could see through your eyes,
Love is not guilty,
Forget about going our separate ways,
Love is a such crazy thing,
You make me burn without the flame,
Another unsolved mystery,
Love is not guilty.

Hello from my studio to yours…!
New Monday, new tunes…

The recording of my song “Chanson Lyrique”
(One of the songs belonging to my new CD
Voice: Sharon Selman
Grand piano: Göran S. Jonasson)…
…has been a very magical experience
Every second was unpredict
(We hadn’t any rehersing)
You have to seize every moment
There are no past, no future
Only the instantly moment
You have to take risks
It is the only way to winn…whatever you like
And if you lose the orientation –there are new ways
That’s could be a metaphor about the life itself

………………

Your beautiful works gives new inspiration!
Kisses and best wishes
Göran

“SILENT MASS FOR SOBBING FOUNTAINS”
Goddesses are invisible
Like air
The fantasy is invisible
Like air
My metaphorical heart is invisible
Like air
My love is invisible
Like air
My promises to you are invisible
Like air
My thoughts of kissing you are invisible
……
Air is the most real of all things
*

Here I am
Sitting on the edge of a sobbing fountain
And listen to a silent mass
For every captive moment
