We saw Katherine as support for Richard Thompson about 18 months ago and were impressed enough to take in her gig at the Acapela Studio. First up was George Boomsma who was a singer songwriter with a nice touch on the acoustic guitar. His voice was very good and it was a nice intro for the main act. He came back to accompany Katherine for most of her songs and with her beautiful vocals, very pure and clear and with him singing backing vocals and duets when called upon the whole sound was brilliant. He switched to electric guitar for her set and played an understated subtle guitar and she was pretty handy on the acoustic. She sang her own songs which had interesting themes and right from the getgo the songs were top notch. She started off with 'Wolf' from her album and indeed covered most of the tracks from it. Highlight for me was 'Eurydice' which I loved from the first time we saw and that was preceded by 'Icarus' another outstanding song from the Greek Myth collection. 'About Rosie' and 'Letter from a Travelling Man' were also memorable and this was another very good show and I will go again to see when she is next in town.
