New CD, Leaky Umbrellas. Buy it here with Paypal !

This CD is slightly more serious and philosophical than the others. I went for catchy melodies with fingerpicking and sparkling guitar arrangements. There's some beautiful harmonies from Armorel Weston and Tracey Collins. Armorel plays bass on the first 3 tracks and I did some concertina and harmonica backing on several songs.
Listen to a few of the songs at  myspace and ezfolk
The CD cover was designed by Sonja Van Kerkhoff who has this to say about it . . . "Kath wanted some reference to the Munch's painting, "The Scream", and you can see references to this in the figure and the sky. Other imagery comes from her lyrics such as a washing line (of memories), a river (of life), references to the rain, water, spirit and bones. Tongue-in-cheek humour and sharp commentary dominate her songs, so I aimed for this, as well as mixing in some Maori-like references, such as the step-stairway tukutuku design (a symbol for self-development)." www.sonjavank.com/design for more about Sonja's webdesign, sculpture, animations & videos.
