Katharine Philippa comes from Portadown, I believe, but her art derives from some other intense sphere. She specialises in rapture, quietly expressed, with keyboard and strings and songs that take a while to catch fire. I'm not sure there's a music analogue to this. She seems more in tune with metaphysical poets like George Herbert or maybe Emily Dickinson. I guess you might find a parallel drift with Joanna Newsome or Regina Spector. Out of time, not conventional, entrancing. Has she heard Judee Still yet? If not, that should be quite a combination. Katharine is playing Auntie Annie's, Belfast on October 3.
