Kathie Touin

Orkney-based Californian musician, songwriter and recording artist

Kathie's thoughts...

Kathie's birthday made her stop to think about age, naturally, and creating music. So she wrote a blog, "Happy Birthday To Me", in which she asks: "Why on earth are musicians only valued when they're young and up and coming?" And says: "I've honed my writing and recording skills and feel like I'm doing my best work and continuing to develop and get better."

You can read more on Kathie's blog and find out what it has to do with Gary Numan.

Gary Numan and Kathie Touin

Kathie's latest album is Facing The Falling Sky...

RnR magazine: "A fine selection of songs."

DJ Steve Conway: "It's truly brilliant. It's like a late-night conversation with an old friend in a remote windswept house."

The Musician magazine: "Touin draws on the inspiration of her remote island home to create this powerful, reflective album."

Radio Caroline's Suzy Wilde: "Excellent album."
