Reviews
“UK rising star embarking on her journey and we have front row seats.”
– Simon Phillips, JazzFM
“This to me is one of the best Jazz/Soul/RnB vocalists from Ireland I have ever heard. Katharine needs to change her name to Ella Fitzgerald Timoney.”
– Ray Colclough, WLR FM
“Don’t Fret features the vocalist’s obscenely rich vocal talent… It’s full of soul, warmth and sunlight.”
– Kate Brayden, HotPress IE
