Had a lovely response to my first column for Songwriting Magazine and my latest one is now online! How do you use Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, SoundCloud etc? I’m looking at how songwriters can make the most of social media.
Been a fun busy week promoting ‘Dreaming in Crowds’ single and had a really fun day filming 2 live songs and interview for UEA TV’s brand new music show ‘Reverb’. Performance to follow soon. Huge thanks to all involved!
Out now! The new single ‘Dreaming in Crowds’ available via Bandcamp plus new video coming too! Single produced by Jeff Hill, photography by Claudia Taveira Photography.
“The production quality is superlative..’Dreaming In Crowds’ is a gently flowing harmonic beauty with a kind of Carole King feel, without in any way sounding like the legendary singer-songwriter.” Maverick Magazine ****
“the crown jewel on this new EP. Dreaming In Crowds is a real singer/songwriter song. It has depth, both in lyrics and arrangement and tells a heartfelt story in which everyone will recognize something.” Inner Ear Media, The Netherlands

“The main purpose of this book is to discuss Kate’s uniqueness and her influence on a new generation of musicians together with some of the freshest and loveliest female artists around and to celebrate female creativity in general.”
