christmas and exciting new things.

Well its been bloody freezing!I can remember wishing for snow constantly as a kid and now! it decides snow....a lot.
Christmas has been busy at the craft centre and writing new tracks with Sinead for the album has been going well so its all been pretty hectic. People are already asking when the album will be done and we've not even started...i have no answers but we're thinking probably late next year which seems far too long a wait for me but im sure the time will soon dissapear.
Micheal Ainsworth is now our agent and has been busy creating the new site to help promote us: www.returnagency.co.uk (If you'd like to have a nosey)

Hope everyone has a great christmas and manages to get home in the snow :)

It was a bit of a shock to be handed this paper just before i played a solo gig at halifax's El campeo's 4th birthday gig.
Sinead had really hurt her neck so she couldn't play...eeek! we were billed as "the best to ever act play El Campeo"

We Are Willow

Hello,

The music project I've been working with Christopher butler from Butler-williams
called 'We Are Willow' (which is the name of the label we're both on) is now coming to a head :).

We've been touring the project in Toronto and Montreal and now its time to gig it here and release it.

The video should be done in two weeks when the Cd will be available to buy online here:

All the artwork for the cd sleeve was done by Darren Newman who is also the face behind the label and Simon Pantling did the photography.

hope you like it.

Live music video.

www.manchesterscenewipe.co.uk/2010/03/10/kathryn-edwards/

This is a live music video me and Sinead did back in august above brannigans, it took a bit of persuasion to let us up there but you should watch the video just to see how amazing it is as a building...its an old monastery and it was one of the venues that featured on most haunted...scary....i'm not very good with things like that either...

Some of my pictures.

Just in case you've never seen any of my pictures before these are a few of my favourites...

The Craft and Design Centre

Hello, i just wanted to show you these photo's liz took of our studio at the Craft and Design centre in the northern quarter,
We made our sign a few weeks ago which was the finishing touch to our new studio (we moved from next door)
My favorite challenge was putting up the rather expensive but amazing wallpaper that i ordered off the internet...bit of a challenge for me and Liz as neither of us had ever put wallpaper up before...quite funny.

We are willow

Me and Christopher Butler from Butler-Williams have started a project that we're touring in Canada on the 12th April for three weeks...really looking forward to it..heres a quick few photos that the lovely Will Grundy took.

We started the project as we are both on the same record label 'We Are Willow' which is run by Daren Newman with a helping hand from his lovely missus Kate Tucker and its part of a series of projects that Christopher and Darren are working on together collaborating with different artists and musicians.

play a game
