Thursday 13 February 18:30 – 20:30. British Library Pigott Theatre and online

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!

This extraordinary event in Nottingham on 27th June has now been confirmed and registration is open at: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/medieval-futures-a-musical-performance-and-qa-tickets-619572767827

I’ve never really done anything like this before! It’s a unique opportunity to explore the medieval inspirations behind what I do, and I can promise some one-off performances.

I will be joined by the utterly brilliant Katherine Christie Evans.

Almost incredibly, entry to this show is free, but donations to the Turkey-Syria Earthquake Appeal will be welcomed. Also, you do need to register by 26th June via the eventbrite link above.

I’m really looking forward to this and hope to see you there.

What with one thing and another it has been a while since I’ve played live (except at academic conferences!), so I’ve been looking forward to announcing this.

Friday 22nd July at Chapter 22 Roots and Records in Bath.

Email chapter22rootsandrecords@gmail.com for tickets, or pop into the shop if you’re nearby.

I’ll be introducing some brand new material (although a lot of the ‘older’ stuff still feels ‘new’ as I’ve only had a couple of chances to play it for you since Rota Fortunae II was released last year!) There will be more live dates announced soon so if you’re nowhere near Bath, don’t despair – just watch this space. But if you are near Bath, see you there! I can hardly wait!

Dearest friends and followers,

I hope you’re all doing okay out there. As you may be aware, it’s another Bandcamp Friday this week and I’m taking the opportunity to offer you a little preview of my new EP ‘Rota Fortunae II’ (due for release in February 2021). Yes that’s right – there will actually be new music on my page for the first time in six months! Amazing!

I’m going to release the track ‘Just Born’ on Friday, here: https://katearnolduk.bandcamp.com/. If you purchase it, I will send you a discount code that will be valid for the new EP when it’s released.

Ideally I’d be releasing the whole EP right now, but one small-but-crucial part of the process has been held up by… well, you know – all the stuff that’s going on. I just really want to bring you a little something before the year is out! I hope it will whet your appetites.

Love

Kate
