Dark Moons & Nightingales is Kathie's second album of her own songs. The 16 tracks are about letting go, finding love, the wonder of the wild and the puzzle of places - plus an intriguing instrumental.

The album features Kathie on vocals, piano, keyboards, acoustic guitar, bass, whistles and percussion. And she welcomes guest guitarist Arron Storey, from the band Storey, who lends his tasteful playing to a number of tracks.

Peter Antony of the legendary Radio Caroline says: "Dark Moons & Nightingales... Wow... I love it... Simply fabulous."

R2 Rock'n'Reel magazine - which featured a track on its January/February 2010 covermount CD - says: "Passionate, poetic songs underpinned by exquisite piano and rich, full arrangements. The magical Season of the Raven shimmers like heat-haze on granite and the whole album has an elemental quality, romantic in all its ragged beauty."

And music-lovers who bought Dark Moons & Nightingales say:

"It's been in my CD player in the car the whole week. It's a masterpiece! Haven't heard an album of such great quality in many years. Great compositions, magical piano playing, wonderful voice and harmonies..."

"Season of the Raven – just wonderful and so cinematographic, every note immediately translates into breathtaking images."

"We played your CD all the way down the west coast of Scotland - I think it went well with the dramatic geology."
