The Musician - Leicester

  • The Musician Leicester UK (map)

A collaboration of three exceptional North-East based musicians. Soaring fiddle from Shona Mooney, infectious melodeon from Dave Gray, and lilting vocals and award winning songwriting from Katie Doherty herself. A trio of uplifting positivity.

Since their album ‘And Then’ was released in 2019, they have had extensive airplay all over Europe including live sessions on BBC Radio 2 and 3. They have toured extensively both as a headline act at Cambridge FF and as support for Blue Rose Code and Rachel Newton. As a composer, Katie has created music for the RSC, Northern Stage and the award-winning musical 'Beyond the End of the Road'.

As a performer Katie has toured with and supported Kathryn Tickell, Karine Polwart, Ray Davies and Nitin Sawhney.

“The band is unafraid and shines light on the dark as they delve into a deeper concept of song writing and do well to make it exciting and profound. ‘And Then’ is poetic, original and brings a traditional folk style into the 21st Century” - Maverick Magazine
