Folk star: 'Why I love knitting'
Available for over a year
Alvechurch's Katherine Priddy announces her new single, her new album, her support slot with Suzanne Vega and how she deals with the adrenaline before and after her live shows. The musician, who's picked up two #1 albums in the Official UK Folk Albums Charts, tells Toni McDonald about returning to the Royal Albert Hall, after last performing there with the 麻豆社 Proms. The new single Matches is available ahead of the much-anticipated third album, These Frightening Machines, out in 2026. Katherine's music has been heavily supported by 麻豆社 Hereford & Worcester and 麻豆社 Introducing since she began making music. With her incredible voice, soul-stirring melodies and poignant lyrics, she weaves effortlessly between Greek mythology and the trees and houses of the Worcestershire village she grew up in. She's played for the 麻豆社 at the virtual Airwaves Festival in 2021, studio sessions galore and a stunning acoustic set at The Hay Festival. The musician has toured all over the world and is no stranger to having her shows televised, too. Image credit: Matty Deveson
