Kathryn Williams: Dancehouse, Manchester
Dave Simpson, The Guardian, 14 October 2002
THIS IS THE MUSICAL EQUIVALENT of a late night on someone's sofa: where love and laughter come tumbling out with secrets. The stage set consists of a standard lamp, giving proceedings the deceptively cosy feel of a living room. Centrestage, cut glass voice framed perfectly by her band, our giddy host chuckles the introductions to her insightful songs, almost all from her new Old Low Light album, about "love, loss, death... and death".
