UK

is a huge talent in the making, and why do we say so well let this speak for itself.

A panel including Guy Chambers and Andy McCluskey awarded her the Musicians Benevolent Fund National Award for Song Creation for her track 'Bridges'. It was an apt, as well as early, recognition of Doherty's skills. She's one of a growing number of young performers who take inspiration from the folk tradition yet write and create their own material.

As with Kate Rusby, Jim Moray and Bill Jones, Doherty is able to invoke a world of mystery, intrigue and timeless magic that would honour any classic folk song. Using a collection of talented young traditional musicians to provide a backdrop for her songs, Doherty sings in a voice beyond her years and with an engaging confidence.

Drawing on influences from Martyn Bennet to Tori Amos, her music offers a welcome recognition factor alongside the excitement that here is an artist with the ability to move traditional music another step along its fascinating journey. Ask now for a copy of Katies album you won't be dissapointed.
