Kate's repetoire of traditional folk songs, in her melliflous style,
(found on her lastest CD "HOURGLASS". (I love it!)) was augmented by
her easy manner and humerous raport between the songs. A delightful
evening.
Her final offering was Iris Dement's .. "Our Town" , She'd
caught Iris in Glasgow and was inspired by her songs. I caught up
with her at the end of the gig whilst her and her Mum were packing
the gear up. In a brief chat she said how much she likes the N. American
folk scene and we found commonality in our love of "Revival" Gillian
Welch.
You'd love her over there, but she admits she's a home-town
girl, even though she's touring with the Poozies next!
