The Kate Green Band
Kate Green is the voice of the band and it is a voice that has inspired amazing reveiws. “The roundly-tuned instrument of Kate’s voice is a warm and intriguing constant; an uncommon timbre…in a range of colours: low engine-room burrs, bluesy bends and slurs, the odd sparky scat-like squeak of impassioned emphasis, the determined sonorousness of something approaching sean nos.” (Ray Hearne). Patrick Walker plays fiddle, viola, mandolin and guitar, and contributes strategic backing vocals; Raymond Greenoaken plays guitar, mandola, harmonium and percussion, and is the official non-singer of the band. And Brian Bell, veteran funkmeister with ceilidh sensations.Together they explore a range of genres: Trad folk, jazz, Americana, blues and contemporary (Kate’s compositions and those of others).
