Although they have very different and distinctive voices they both sound great. Does anyone know if they did any other albums together? |

But Kate's work since is worth checking out; she's become quite the folk music star. Kathryn made some albums with Equation which are OK, albeit more pop than folk, and still tours with (Sean? Seth?) Lakeman. Cheers, Michael |

She and Sean Lakeman are currently on tour in the UK. They do a superb variety of trad and contempory songs, and Sean's guitar work is brilliant. They're on at the Duke of Marlborough, St Albans this Friday (5th November). Not to be missed! |

Kathryn is a wonderful singer, keyboardist and flautist - shame she hasn't achieved the same stardom as Kate, she's equally talented (some of us might say more talented!). That's not to detract from Kate, she's a great performer and a grand lass, but IMNSHO Kathryn's her equal (at least). Kathryn and Sean have two CDs out - both excellent (check out 'The Granite Mill' and 'Georgia Lee' on the first one - they don't come any better). SJ :0) |

Kathryn has a fabulous voice and Sean's guitar playing is quite extraordinary. They play an interesting mix of songs and tunes with a varied dynamic. Conversely, I've gone off the boil with respect to Kate. I don't particularly like her voice anymore and feel her material has a tendency to sound all the same. |
