Kate Walsh
I’m working in London this week, so posts will be briefer than usual I’m afraid.
Back at the start of June I talked about how I didn’t really like many female singer-songwriters. Since then, I seem to keep finding ones that I’m enjoying. A couple of months ago we had Ruth Theodore, then the constantly referenced Kate Nash, and now we have the similarly named but differently sounding Kate Walsh.
Walsh is from Brighton, cites Rufus Wainwright, Ben Kweller and Kathleen Edwards among her influences and already has an entire album over her belt, entitled ‘Clocktower Park’. She’s also only 20 years old, which I point out merely because it scares the hell out of me when I’m a fair bit older than the people with the talent. Anyway, her songs are the deceptively simple; usually just Walsh and a guitar, but there’s a greater depth here than seems initially obvious. I didn’t think all that much of these songs at the start, but a few plays later and they are firmly planted in my head.

Kate is actually 24 years old, so I hope you don’t feel quite so old. I’m Kate’s brother, I’m 27, and have no talent!
I don’t usually like female singer-songwriters either, but Kate Walsh has challenged that in a big way. Her voice and songs are simply beautiful, truly amazing. I wish her Good Luck & happiness. As for Lewis, talent comes in many forms, I’m sure your Sister knows what your talents are, even if you can’t see them.
I don’t know if anyone can help me try and find a song by Kate Walsh. We saw her a couple of weeks ago at Eastney Cellars and she sang a song which I think was called ‘another man’. I can’t find this song on either of the albums, does anyoone know if it hasn’t been released on an album yet?
The only lyric I can remember is, ‘he keeps my heart between light and dark’? Just loved this song but can’t find it. P.S. Met kate that that night and she was lovely. Won her Tim’s House CD in the raffle as well so well chuffed. listen to it constantly but the song about falling for another man isn’t on it.
Many thanks for any help.

I think that Kate Walsh is so talented. I actually found some awesome interviews with her in it. People should check it out.
