I'm sure I've said this before, but here we go again!! :-)

My real name's Kathryn, which can be shortened to Kat. I used to be in a band called Fireboots. I took the Fire from the band's name, changed the spelling of my name so it ended up as my favourite animal, put the two together and ended up with Firecat.
I also use the name Bodhranfire, but not on the 'cat. This comes from the band, and the fact that I play bodhran.
