Programme - Deepdale Festival

Kathryn Williams & Band

Thursday - Brick Barn

Kathryn Williams is a Liverpool-born, Mercury Music Prize nominated singer-songwriter with 16 albums under her belt. Before her last release, Night Drives (which entered the official folk album charts straight to number 2), the label OLI celebrated her career thus far with a 20 CD two book box set anthology strewn with her art. She has written a novel 'The Ormering Tide' which debuted to critical acclaim, and was listed in The Bookseller as a bestseller for the north and she hosts her own popular podcast 'before the light goes out' which was put in the top ten best music podcasts by The Guardian. Kathryn tutors at Arvon, Moniack Mhor, and The Writing Squad and writes songs with many diverse artists around the world including Paul Weller, Ed Harcourt, Beth Neillson Chapman and Michele Stodart.

Kathryn & Polly, who are playing on Thursday night of Deepdale Festival 2023, are label buddes at One Little Independent Recrods. They met on a song writing retreat, and have written songs together. They supported each other over lockdown, and being fans of each other's work it seemed a foregone conclusion that they would tour together. We are very pleased that we are one of the stops on their Big Sky Tour.
