“The most beautiful things about songs is how they can take on a life of their own and assume all kinds of really particular meanings for different folks. I’m constantly moved and amazed by the deeply personal experiences people let me in on to me as a result of hearing them”
Following the breakthrough of her debut album Faultlines, which won Best Album at the 2005 BBC Folk Awards, and its more lush and polished 2006 successor Scribbled in Chalk, Karine took time out to give birth to her son in 2007. The first release on her micro-label, Hegri Music, Fairest Floo’er, is a stark, dark and intimate collection of Scottish traditional songs, which Karine herself describes as “late night dram music”. This return to her origins was followed by This Earthly Spell. Indeed all four of her solo CD releases prove she’s a writer able to combine ancient traditions with sharp contemporary observations and an independent sensibility.
Doors 7.30pm at the Frazer Theatre, Knaresborough • Tickets : £16.00 • Bar
