Catherine
has been singing professionally for 20
years. While her early influences were
revivalist singers, and her first
experience was singing in a band, she has
been increasingly drawn to the more
traditional unaccompanied styles.
Catherine is especially drawn to the
traditional music of Ireland, and has
developed a course to teach an
appreciation of the 'sean nos' (old
style) using recordings of respected
traditional singers. Her own singing has
developed into a full throated
combination of modern expression and old
world restraint. She has a large
repertoire of unaccompanied songs from
the Irish, Scottish and English
traditions, many from Canadian
collections, that she sings in English.
