Kathryn Williams is a British, Mercury music prize-nominated singer-songwriter. With 17 albums under her belt in the last 27 years, her last solo album, Night Drives debuted at no.2 in the official folk album charts, while her last album, a collaboration with Withered Hand titled Willson Williams was nominated for the SAY and AMA awards.

Label One Little Independent celebrated her career (thus far) with a 20-CD and 2-book box set, Anthology, strewn with her artwork.

Her novel The Ormering Tide debuted to critical acclaim, and she also hosts her own popular podcast, Before the Light Goes Out, which appeared in the Top Ten best music podcasts by the Guardian. Kathryn tutors at the Arvon and Moniack Mhor Foundations, and writes with many diverse artists around the world including Paul Weller, Chris Difford, Ed Harcourt, Beth Nielsen Chapman, and Michele Stodart. She is the only female included in the Top Ten list of Greatest Liverpool songwriters of all time.

This tour will showcase her current album, Mystery Park, alongside the brilliant guitarist and singer-songwriter Matt Deighton, who is known as British folk’s most enigmatic lost son, former Mother Earth frontman and guitarist for Bill Fay, Oasis and Paul Weller.
