"A London based singer songwriter in her early twenties who makes regular performances across London. Kat's beautiful ethereal voice shines on this 'classical folk' track. She is influenced by, amongst others, Eva Cassidy, Portishead and Joan Baez. But we think she has a style all her own." .. (Review from: www.embercombe.co.uk) I'm a singer/songwriter/composer, "rooted in traditional English folk" but versatile in how I express this. Recently I travelled to Cuba to collaborate with Cuban musicians and a theatre group called Guerilla de Teatreros. I'm passionate about using music to create positive change in the world and in people's lives, and I have performed and made musical contributions to various sustainable development, interfaith and diplomatic events, including the Schumacher Foundation, World Wide Fund for Nature, St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace and a performance at the House of Lords for Baha'i New Year. As well as my solo work, I'm part 3 bands: .. Cloak & Dagger: www.myspace.com/cloakndaggermusic .. The Road to Xanadu: www.myspace.com/theroadtoxanadu The Bird & the Butterfly www.myspace.com/thebirdthebutterfly ..

    Greetings Kat,

    I am so delighted to hear that you like the Avalon & the Sea painting, & it would be an honour if you used it for your Amazing song Avalon.
    Go ahead! :)
    I appreciate you putting a link to my page, I thank you.


    I will definitely keep you posted about exhibitions (& new pieces).
    Hopefully I'll have one back in England in a not so distant future :)

    Have a most Wonderful day, & please do stay in touch.
