Two days ago, I went to watch Emma Pollock, and came away not only utterly blown away by her, but also by one of her supports: Katie Sutherland (see yesterday’s post).

I have been sent two of her songs as mp3s, which I will post here.

Katie Sutherland-‘Because I Do.’ mp3

Katie Sutherland -‘The Roses.’ mp3

What can I say? The voice grabs you first, the tunes gently take hold of you and when they’ve got you captive it’s the sweetest feeling, as you sing along and wonder why you don’t hear these lass singing out of your radio. If I have anything to do with it – and I’m just a humble blogger in Scotland – but if I can do my bit to raise her profile, I’m going to try.

Pop along to her MySpace site and make friends, if you haven’t already, here

Feedback will, of course, be appreciated!
