KATHRYN WILLIAMS Tickets

Tickets to see Kathryn Williams with her new band will be available from Aloud.com at 9AM on FRIDAY March 9th.

Without doubt one of the most authentic folk voices in the country' (Q) - has teamed up with fellow musicians, Simon Edwards and Ginny Clee for a 'pop project' titled The Pond.

Comparisons might be made to down-tempo artists like Lemon Jelly, Mint Royale and Bent, but the emphasis here is on songs and voices - the interaction between Kathryn & Ginny creating some stunning harmonies.

The Pond's music developed - alongside friendships - over a two year period of on/ off recording at Simon & Ginny's home studio in North London and by exchanging files over email with Newcastle-based Kathryn.

Simon - a much in demand session player - cut his teeth in Fairground Attraction scoring a worldwide hit with Perfect in 1988. Ginny meanwhile started out in her pop life as one half of The Dear Janes, subsequently contributing vocals to records by everyone from Robert Plant to Robyn Hitchcock
