New album out now

What people are saying:

“Kate’s creative soul finds a home in her dazzling songs and voice. A sublime homage to Trees, but so much more. This is wonderful”

Mike Heron (The Incredible String Band)

**** A rich and deeply mytho-poetic set of 13 songs drawing on Ogham (the Druidic ‘tree alphabet’) and evoking some of the earliest botanical colonisers after the Ice Age: birch, oak, pine, hazel, alder, ash among them. Grant’s fine voice and avant-folk artist Nick Pynn’s rich and dappled musical settings raise this album up to the crown without losing sight of its roots.

Songlines Magazine

“Ethereal, replete with unexpected enthralling moment, ‘Songs For The Trees’ is an album which reverberate long after’

Penny Black Magazine

‘Gloriously mellow, relaxed, spiritual folk warmth’

The Organ

“Songs For The Trees” is an enchanting album. Inspired by ancient arboreal folklore, Grant’s lyrics are captivating, enhanced by Pynn’s arrangements that give the album a spellbinding quality. It’s one of the year’s finest albums and an evergreen for the future.

Folkscene

"Songs for the Trees" is a charming, spiritual, and poetic album, with musical language and arrangements that captivate listeners, transporting them into a magical suspension of time. It's both a celebration of botanical biodiversity and a plea for its protection and conservation." Ciro De Rosa, Blogfoolk magazine

NEW ALBUM NOW AVAILABLE ON BANDCAMP AND ALL STREAMING PLATFORMS (EXCEPT SPOTIFY)

Kate was invited to collaborate with storyteller Xanthe Gresham-Knight throughout 2024 for Newhaven's Guesthouse Storytellers. Kate wrote and performed a song a month to celebrate the trees of the Druidic Ogham calendar. The album, recorded and performed with Nick Pynn, including two of his instrumental tracks, is now available as either download or CD, exclusively through Bandcamp.

Following two sell-out shows at The Old Market's 'In the Box' festival in Brighton, Kate, Nick and Xanthe are putting in tour dates for their story-and-music show 'A Night With the Trees' featuring immersive forest visuals where venues allow.
