Kate to Release Covers compilation "Peppermint Rado"

Kate Walsh
Peppermint Radio

[Blueberry Pie; September 13]

Since the release of her third album Light & Dark last year, Kate Walsh has busied herself with a whole lot of fundraising through Pledge Music and the recording of two covers EPs in which she has reinvented tracks from British artists who’ve influenced her work.Peppermint Radio is a compilation of these, plus a third and final EP which may be purchased separately, and will come packaged with accompanying sleeve notes about each song and what it means to Kate. Alongside tracks from her ’80s and ’90s covers EPs – you can currently stream her versions of Blur’s ‘Beetlebum’ and EMF’s ‘Unbelievable’ over on Myspace – come four new recordings: Prefab Sprout’s ‘When Love Breaks Down’, The Shamen’s ‘Move Any Mountain’, Eurythmics’ ‘Who’s That Girl?’ and Turin Brakes’ ‘Feeling Oblivion’.

After this weekend’s appearance at Secret Garden Party festival, Kate’s gig schedule winds down until November when she’ll embark on a twelve-date UK tour calling at the following venues:
