Hit the road with the medieval women!

Medieval women from all kinds of backgrounds travelled far and wide. Some travelled for healing, others for fertility, or for spiritual enrichment. This session examines the origins of a tradition that has never stopped evolving, bringing together a panel of especially well-travelled experts. Join them in navigating the lives of medieval women on the move, tracing their tracks to the present day in an exploration of pilgrimages old and new; sacred and profane.

Kate will be playing a musical introduction to this event with award-winning authors/academics Diane Watt, Sara Wheeler and Marion Turner. Arrive early!

]]> I love the SCI-FI LONDON Film Festival and have been attending for years but never thought I might be in one of the films! Yet amazingly this has now occurred.

The film is called ‘Ozma’ and it has been cunningly wrought by my ‘Alphabet Twin’ Keith John Adams. It’s showing at 5:45pm on June 2nd at the magnificent Prince Charles Cinema just off Leicester Square, London. Come along and see if you can spot me, and perhaps a few other people you may know!

You can watch the trailer and buy tickets here: https://sci-fi-london.com/ozma/

]]> Hi folks. Just to let you know about a compilation album has just been released today and to which I have contributed.
Many of you will know about Chaos Theory as I have done several live shows with them in the past few years. They are a rare example of promoters who genuinely care about the music they put on and really do support the musicians. Normally around this time of year there is a Chaos Theory festival featuring loads of amazing bands and artists, but of course it has been impossible this year.
Instead, the amazing bands and artists are on this digital compilation, available on Bandcamp. It’s a fundraising album, with proceeds split between all artists involved, Chaos Theory and the #SaveTheBlackHeart campaign. You are absolutely sure to discover at least one new favourite band or artist on it! 
Read more and order here: https://chaostheorymusic.bandcamp.com/

Thank you for your kind attention!
Love

Kate x

A review from Reflections of Darkness of Lindy-Fay Hella’s album and her show last month that also includes a fair few words about my performance. The audience is ‘patient’ and the reviewer is ‘intrigued’!

]]> Well, it can be described; just not in the snappy way required for one of these post titles.

Each year since I first heard about the The Dark Outside, I’ve contributed a brand new track to the project. Some metamorphosed into other things, some seem to have become favourites at my live shows. I wonder what will happen to this one? I do know I’m especially pleased with it. It’s called #TheWindandIMustSing.

Get yourself a radio and come to Epping Forest, 20th/21st June to hear it (and a multitude of other weird and interesting sounds)! https://www.facebook.com/events/2340454432904299/

]]> The stalwart folks at Chaos Theory (http://chaostheorymusic.co.uk/) have just shared a video of me doing a version of ‘Threes and Sevens’ in the church of St Bartholomew the Great, Smithfield, at the Hazel Iris album launch back in October. That night was definitely one the highlights of my year. From now on I think I will only play in twelfth-century churches, preferably ones with some of the original tile work still visible.* Thanks again to Hazel, to Chaos Theory and to Peter Junge for recording and mixing.
