Kathryn Williams and Withered Hand

Dan Wilson is Scotland's acclaimed singer-songwriter Withered Hand. He has released three albums and a number of EPs over the last 15 years and has toured internationally, amassing a devoted following while staying close to his DIY roots in the underground music scene.

Kathryn Williams is an Mercury Music Prize-nominated English singer-songwriter who has released 16 albums. She has collaborated with poet Dame Carol Ann Duffy, author Laura Barnett and written songs with Paul Weller, Neill MacColl and Michele and Romeo Stodart, to name just a few.

Kathryn and Dan met in 2019 in a Spiegeltent in Edinburgh at a Book Festival event. They both think it's weird that they hadn't met before as they both share many of the same friends in music; James Yorkston, Rachel Sermanni and Kathryn Joseph among them. Sometimes they think that they might have met at a Fence Collective festival years ago. At least Kath thinks she remembers Dan but Dan doesn't seem to remember much from those days.

They’ve now recorded an album together with the help of Creative Scotland featuring a who’s who of Scottish indie-folk royalty and are setting out to let audiences hear the songs live in what promises to be a very special evening.
