Verified profile

Classically trained in singing from a young age, I was also greatly influenced by artists such as Joni Mitchell, Sandy Denny, Bob Dylan, Judy Collins and Cara Dillon as a teenager. My myriad of musical influences come together to make a distinctive soprano vocal style, which I accompany with fingerstyle guitar. As well as playing traditional and modern folk music, I also write and perform my own original material, and am excited to be having my first album coming up this year.

Kate's Reviews

5 out of 5

Kate was wonderful and a fantastic musician to have at our party. She was easy to work with from the first enquiry to the last moment of her time at the event. When she beautifully sang our two special requests at the end of her performance - "there wasn't a dry eye in the house". We've had a lot of feedback about how fantastic her performance was. Thank you so much Kate.

Thank you so much Joy and Ivor - it was truly a pleasure and privilege to play at your birthday celebration!

Kate has entertained us at the Royal oak in Meavy on Dartmoor, on a number of occasions now. She never fails to entertain my customers. The combination of her beautifully mesmerising voice and her musical talent is fantastic. She has a great ability to connect with her audience. I wish her all the best for the future.

What a wonderful and perfect find Kate is! I listened to many singers...before I found Kate and decided straight away after hearing her sing just one song that she would be perfect for our party. Her voice has such perfect clarity. Kate is very obliging too and kindly agreed to sing Annie's Song and You and Me and a Dog Named Boo for us at our party, as these songs have a special meaning for us. Everyone in our village is talking about the party now and especially Kate, all our guests loved listening to her sing and keep asking me how I found her! Kate is such a lovely person too, would definitely recommend her to all!
