Regent's Park show- August 17th

we've just confirmed a show in regent's park open air theatre on august 17th. it will be a full band show again... martyn barker on drums and simon edwards on bass- the pair who made the recent Queen Elizabeth Hall show so great!
if you've never been to the open air theatre, it's one of the most amazing venues- an amphitheatre in the centre of regent's park, surrounded by trees. beautiful. the show starts as the sun begins to set, so by the end night has fallen completely.
kathryn played regents park a few years ago- read the 5 star guardian review here.
a couple of songs from that show ended up as tracks on kw's "relations" covers album- "hallelujah" and "these days" were recorded live at the show and were the spark that led to the creation of "relations".
it's just a magical place that makes things happen...

gates at 6pm for picnics on the lawn. show starts at 7.30
2 great supports are TBC- we'll keep you informed

the single is one of the Sunday Times' "hottest downloads" and a great review just hit the manchester evening news website.

the single's b-side is "ghost"- a great song which was written and recorded for the album, but which we just couldn't fit on the record in the end.
