Katherine Abbott is a singer-songwriter from Stratford-upon-Avon. She began her career by playing working men’s clubs in Coventry and the West Midlands. From humble beginnings, come great things and, her latest single is proof of this.
‘Lullaby For Lucas’ was written about an Austrian opera singer she met walking the Camino De Santiago. Lucas had lost his voice and taken up a nomadic lifestyle. Abbott, borrowing takes from Peggy Sue and Emmy The Great and paints ethereal strokes.
It’s dream like stasis sets the mood for personal reflection on snap judgments we make at the expense of people like Lucas. A lesson that the online world would do well to learn.
