Kathryn Williams & Withered Hand Live

A London concert aboard The Golden Hinde in which singer-songwriters Kathryn Williams and Withered Hand perform songs from their joint collaboration alongside material from their solo careers.

Kathryn Williams is a British singer whose work draws on folk, alternative rock and acoustic music. Born in Liverpool in 1974, she has been active since 1998 and is signed to One Little Independent Records. Nominated for the Mercury Prize, she has released sixteen albums over more than two decades and has collaborated with Paul Weller, Neill MacColl and Michele & Romeo Stodart. Alongside her music, she writes novels, presents a podcast and teaches creative writing.

Withered Hand is a Scottish songwriter who has built a devoted following through personal songwriting. The project has released three critically acclaimed albums, toured internationally and remained rooted in the independent music scene. Kathryn Williams and Withered Hand first met in Edinburgh in 2019 and began writing together, exploring grief, memory and hope. Working through lockdown, they produced a collection of songs shaped as much by long conversations as by traditional songwriting.

The evening combines songs from that collaboration with music from both artists'solo careers. It takes place aboard The Golden Hinde, a London venue that hosts concerts and shows, and suits listeners interested in either singer-songwriter or in the songs they wrote together.
