The Salam UK Band

Fiona Katie performed with the Salam Uk Band last evening and I am told that her harp playing went down well and I know that she would love to perform with the Band at some point in the Future .
Tomorrow Fiona Katie will be in Ripon performing at a wedding and on Sunday this week she will be performing at Music Port at Bridlington and is hoping that many people will turn up and support her as she will be providing her services for free....

As we speak Fiona is testing various microphones..

More news later

Finally work has commenced on a new CD which I have some work to do on this evening the new CD "Alconden" wil;l hopefully be available for release over the next fortnight .

In addition to tyhis we face disruption at home as we are having a central heating system in . My health will not allow for us to have another cold winter such as we did before and it is with some comfort that I am grateful that a central heating system is been installed which might stop out toothpaste freezing .

I have yet to update the dates page but hope to do this later today with a bit of luck and a bit of time FK is busy teaching and has gone to fetch my tablets from the Doctors

festivals and weddings

Crikey it has been a whilse since I posted anything on here the reason is that our tenant left our barn conversion at the end of August after causing two thousand pounds worth of damage .
The property has been pain stakingly put back to what it was before the clows that rented it damaged it.

Fiona Katie performed last week with James Hutton there is a link on the video page for this but at the moment it is not working but I am hoping to put this back right tomorrow.

Fiona continues to amaze with her fantastic talent and she is getting busier and busier so if you are thinking of booking her do it now raqther than later.

Fiona katie will be playing at saltaire this weekend as part of the festival

I will try and post some photos on the site as soon as i have a minute

Folk night

F.K and I attended a folk night last Thursday evening up at earby it really was really enjoyable and FK played the harp and did a rendidtion of the Irish Jig always a favourite. Many thanks go out to Andy Hill a tremendous songwriter and compser who was kind enough to invite us along - cheers Andy.

F.K has been busy practising her performance with James her friend and Opera Singer this will take place this coming Friday at the cobbles and Clay in Haworth I am hoping it will be a good performance.

On Sunday F K will be playing at the Townley Hall Woodland festival a free event held every year - there are re-enactments , wild birds of prey and all sorts of activities going on throughout the day it is well worth going for a look

1st of september

well it is september - Summer has gone dark nights have already started to draw in and the Summer we were promised has started to proove to be non existent.
I enjoyed going to a gig that Fiona was playing at on Sunday at the Rainhall centre in Barnoldswick I met one of Fk's former pupils who was also starring then I came across this fantastic song writer /folk singer Andy Hill who provided a interesting insight into folk music and was also funny with some of the stories he told.
Fiona had just returned from Alwick the day before so was quite tired from all the driving
I have managed to confirm Fiona a booking for another appearance at the Topic folk club in January and will be arranging other gigs as I come across places which will proove to be a suitable venue

Updated Dates Page

Today I have updated the web page which has all the date information on it.
Many of you will see that this page has many concerts on it of which some are free to the public. I would urge you to go along and see Fiona Katie playing - You will be suprised of how good she is

Superb Functions

Fiona Katie performed in Manchester through a agency Superb Functions.com despite several attempts to get payment for the work she did this agency is in financial difficulty and does not have the Monies to pay her therefore it is with deep regret that with immediate effect Fiona Katie will no longer accept any work through the agency known as Superb Functions.

This Agency knew they were in financial difficulty yet continued to book artistes.
Although the agency was getting the money they were not passing it on. In my view this is theft and we will not deal with this company again.

It is always better to book Fiona Katie direct it works out cheaper for the client and proper contracts are drawn up.

We have had to contact the Musicians union regarding the above mentioned company and are now placing this matter in their hands
