About the show
Katy Rose Bennett is a singer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, composer and arranger. She has been creating earthy, intimate folk music for over 20 years, telling stories of love, despair, connection and community. She empowers audiences to be emotionally open by sharing the strength in vulnerability through the vessel of song. She has released seven albums of original songs in her career - her most recent described on BBC Radio 2 as “Fascinating stuff…a sort of folk-meets-Laurie Anderson". She has toured the UK and beyond as a soloist in numerous ensembles.
Katy was born in Oxfordshire but has been based in Birmingham for 20 years. As well as gigging regularly, she leads community choirs and songwriting workshops, composes for others, including cross-artform collaborations, and is a trained music therapist. She has experience working as a musician in schools, prisons, hospitals and community settings and especially loves bringing people together through singing. In 2019, she co-founded In Her Shoes, a community interest company supporting women and girls across the Midlands. Spurred on by her own lived experiences, she is an active advocate of LGBTQ and disability rights.
Featuring - Katy Rose Bennett
The Birmingham-based songwriter Katy Rose Bennett creates elegant songs about love, hope and the darker side of life. Sometimes she performs alone, and sometimes she is accompanied by a band she called the Cavalry Parade. It should be said that Katy does not have an actual cavalry parade or even a horse (she is mildly hippophobic, as it goes). The idea of the cavalry parade comes from a song from the KTB's 2009 album ‘Indelible Ink’.
