Wednesday Feb 03, 2016
Wednesday Feb 03, 2016
Hello and welcome to the first Kscope Podcast of 2016.
PLENTY going on at the label this year!
We start with an introduction to Catherine Anne Davies PhD, Simple Minds’ keyboardist, singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, PKA as The Anchoress for her debut album out now on Kscope,‘Confessions of a Romance Novelist’ – which is “sneaking big ideas past the listeners of daytime radio” (Q Magazine).
Some of the LP was co-produced and written with Mansun’s creative force Paul Draper (Catherine is currently helping Paul with his first solo album) so we’ll hear how the two met - as well as Catherine’s forthright opinions on gender in rock.
PLUS a track from the current album from Steven Wilson AND an update on the current Kscope artists on tour.
IT’S ALL HAPPENING!
