Having watched Kate mature and grow from a very young age I confess to being a fan.

There is no doubt that she has a stunning voice and she is an excellent fiddler and guitar and piano player. Had she wanted to become "commercial" then she could have stayed with "Equation" when they were offered (and accepted) megabucks to go down the pop road. She stayed with folk and thanks to her for doing that.

A couple of years ago she and the band filled the Arena on a cold night and she ad-libbed through a fantastic set - it had to be adlibbed most of it was about someone who had lent her a coat to keep her warm. Lovely lass and a super family. Not an air and a grace to their names. May she grow and prosper.
