Kate Walsh & Turin Brakes Live@ Canterbury 15th/16th May 09

Here's a video by AtkinGuitars! This beautiful song "The Greatest Love" was written by Kate Walsh for her forth coming album "Light and Dark". It features Olly Knights from Turin Brakes on vocals. This was from the sound check on the 16th May 2009 in Canterbury.


If you're liking this track then go get Kate Walsh's Daytotter session since it features this track (along with 2 other new songs presumably featured on the forthcoming new album).

Thanks to Mark for this review:
Friday's Turin Brakes/Kate Walsh review: Magic performances at the ISC. Kate Walsh sang with the pure and intimate vocals of a relaxed and assured star. When she brought on Turin's Olly for company for a duet their harmonies meshed really well - a bit hesitant at first - then they clicked and it was magic! Warmth from all of us in the audience for Turin as they settled in to their first gig in months. I have never seen them live before, so what a treat! Guitar sounds to die for, base textures magnificent, and vocals from Ed superb. 3 musicians making a sound like 30. Slide guitar from Gale was complimentary yet dominant sometimes, his tone resonant and his array of pedals mixed in depth and textures that the PA held really well.A new song "Paper Moon" reduced one audience member to tears, and after the interval they really took command and deserved the standing ovation that followed. We made a 140 mile round trip for this magic and would double the mileage to see them again!
If you have the setlist/any pics/vids/reviews please leave a comment!

I didn't realise I was lovely. :-)

Kate's latest blog message:

TURIN BRAKES
Current mood: giddy
I have had an amazing weekend with the Turin Brakes boys. The gigs were fantastic, going straight to the top of 'my most memorable' list.


Olly, Gale and Eddie were lovely to be around and our music complimented eachother's perfectly.


Olly and Gale both feature on my forthcoming album 'Light & Dark' and when me and Olly sang together on stage it was a dream come true..i had to keep pinching myself!


If anybody has any photos or video footage of either friday or saturday night then please send it to http:​/​/​katewalshmusic.​blogspot.​com/


The lovely Danyelle has set up a fan page for me and i know she would appreciate some new material.


Thanks to everyone that came to the show, and if you enjoyed it half as much as i did then i am over the moon!


see you all again soon

1 May: New album called "Light and Dark"

Kate's new album "Light and Dark" was due to be released June 16th but I believe it has now been postponed to an August release.

Kate has a couple of gigs coming up soon (Canterbury, London and Glastonbury) but I believe she'll be doing a UK tour September/October 2009.

I'm hoping to be able to make a gig or two. Kate's myspace is the place to look for updates but I believe Kate's official website will be back up and running with updates pretty soon.
