KTB

(aka Katy Bennett) has been writing songs about elephants, vegetarianism and unrequited love since the age of 12. She released her critically acclaimed debut album ‘All Calm In Dreamland’ in 2002 [‘Gentle acoustics from the Nick Drake school… literate songs’ UNCUT, Jan 2003] and, later that same year, was a finalist at the BBC Young Folk Awards. .

Her second album, ‘Bluebird’, was recorded in and around a portacabin studio on a farm in rural Oxfordshire between the summer of 2004 and the spring of 2005 with her brother Joe (of the band Goldrush) producing. Its beautiful, heart-wrenching eleven and a half songs deal with those universal emotions of love, loss, despair, friendship and hope.

In 2006, KTB’s professional singing career took a fruitful albeit unexpected detour when she was engaged by the RSC to sing (in Sicilian) for their production of Romeo & Juliet in Stratford-Upon-Avon as part of The Complete Works’ Festival season. So who knows what’s to come for the versatile Miss KTB
