About Me

Now available, new E.P. "5 Songs" I'm a singer/songwriter based in Sheffield UK. I play acoustic guitar, but my style crosses over from pop to folk to alternative.
I used to be in indie power pop band Moreau's Island - you can check out their songs and one of the videos we did here .
If you see me live I mix some eclectic covers with my own material, including Joni Mitchell, Bjork and the Pet Shop Boys.
Anyway, take a listen and see what you think.
"impressive........if you see Kathy Cookson playing a gig near you, after listening to this potential and imagining what it would be like from this CD, it would be a treat" Matt Whalley, Sandman magazine.
