Every once in a while we are blessed with a singer who is quite simply born to write and perform exquisite songs with confident, gentle assurance.

Peter Cowley at FATEA Magazine recently reviewed her performance at Folk On The Farm, saying “I had not seen Katie before but was immediately and hugely impressed. With her reverb-laden acoustic guitar, powerful and original song writing and a voice like warm honey, she was for me, the discovery of the festival.”

Katie Spencer is a progressive-folk singer songwriter and guitarist inspired by the people and her surroundings in the Yorkshire countryside. Enjoying music from a young age has developed her ever-evolving and infinite musical tastes and influences, including John Martyn, Roy Harper and Laura Marling.

She is also in the process of creating her debut album alongside Brian Young, featuring Ted McKenna and Foss Paterson, with bass written by Danny Thompson.

“Favourite is singer songwriter Katie Spencer … the best lyrics I’ve heard in years.” Ian Pickles, Louder Than War (at Beverley Folk Festival 2014)
