New Shows, New Music, and New Learning...
Katie will be playing at the Musician on Clyde Street, Leicester on the 12th of November and also performing live at the British Academy Of New Music in London on the 10th of November. This will be her first performance with a full backing band of super talented musicians from the Academy. Hopefully recordings of these songs will be made for you all to hear. Check back in a week or so for details on that.
As some of you may already know, Katie Skilling is now attending the British Academy of New music in London and its doing an Artist Development Programme. Details on this fantastic course can be found at www.access-to-music.co.uk.
Recording for the new album is still going on and is picking up speed once again now that Katie is settled into college and new songs are being written as we speak. If the live recordings of the show on the 10th go well then there may be a possibility that they will be added to the acoustic album as bonus tracks.
