• 10th Sep 2007

Bright young rising talent Kate Walsh, currently supporting Richard Hawley on his UK tour, will release new single 'Your Song' on 24th September. On the same day, Kate's debut album 'Tim's House' will get a physical release having reached no.1 in the iTunes Top 100 Albums
recently.

The gorgeously understated track 'Your Song' has an equally gorgeous video, which is up on YouTube, check it out now: link

After capturing the No.1 slot on iTunes and going Top 10 on iTunes across Europe then a No.1 on the US iTunes Folk Chart with ‘Tim’s House’, Kate quickly became the talk of the global music industry, leapfrogging over established artists such as Kaiser Chiefs, Arcade Fire and Amy Winehouse through the massive word-of-mouth digital buzz.

Taking in the subsequent rush of music industry interest, Kate decided the best move was to license her album through Mercury Records. She now plans to release, ‘Your Song’ on CD on Monday 24th September backed with exclusive new track, ‘Here I Go Again.’. Her album, ‘Tim’s House,’ is available now as a download and also gets a physical release on Monday 24th September..

The inspired singer/songwriter has carved out a unique niche with web listeners and portable music fans around the globe. Her direct but sweetly-delivered songs has resulted in her being one of the most talked about new artists in the business, thanks to the tremendous fan response generated by her album in the myspace/ipod d-i-y music movement. A classically trained pianist and accomplished guitarist, she has also been drawing comparisons to female songwriting giants such as Joni Mitchell.
