Can recommend her - went to see her last time she was at the theatre and had a great night out.
Probably won't be going again because it was only a short while ago that she was there but would definitely suggest anyone who didn't get chance to see her last time goes.

She did some tracks with John Tams on Sharpe. Yorkshire born, excellent folk singer and if I can work it around the business and still get tickets I'm going..........
I was just wondering whether anyone local had seen this gig and what they thought?
I'm a big fan of Kate's past work and have seen her live a number of times. Ordinarily (assuming you like folk music) she is sublime - absolute perfection and well worth whatever you pay for the ticket.
Last time I saw her, however, we were a little disappointed. John McCusker has left the band and his replacement, IMO, just didn't cut the mustard. Andy's Cutting & Seward were great as usual but Kate seemed to have a bit of a sore throat - kept coughing and appeared to struggle to deliver some of the higher notes.
My other half told me I was just being over critical but if you've seen Kate and the band really on song then you'll know why I was disappointed with what felt like a humdrum opening-few-nights-of-the-tour experience.
Won't stop me seeing her again though - would strongly recommend any fans or potential fans get tickets for the Cawthorne concerts. It's a sort of home fixture for Kate and always seems to be a special one!
