Calling Kate Walsh a singer songwriter is like saying Van Gogh was a cartoonist.

Kate is different. A 26-year-old from a sailing town in Essex who’s been likened to Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush and Jane Austen, she’s ferociously independent…in every sense.

She adores Debussy, studies cello, listens constantly to Classic FM (and little else), bemoans the demise of vinyl and CDs (she finally got an iPod when iTunes gave her one after her last album ‘Tim’s House’ knocked Take That off the top of the download chart but rarely uses it)… , is entertainingly scathing about the conventional music industry (”it’s fickle, selfish, impersonal and backstabbing”) – and has established her own cottage industry to do it her way. And when she sits down to write a song you’d better lock up your hearts for you instantly become Kate’s close personal confidante as she bares her soul with shocking candour.

Bought the Live from London album from iTunes last night. Kate actually sounds better live, which is rather refreshing from artists these days. :)

Been listening to the new album on Napster, using squeezebox, for the past week. Excellent. I just bought the MP3 album so I will still have a copy if I ditch Napster. I can't remember the last time I actually bought an album! I also bought tickets to see a gig in October. It is hard to follow up a good album with a better one, but I think she might just have cracked it here.
