Huge thanks to the young lads living on my cul-de-sac who had a full on scrap over some lazy pizza box recycling choices today, culminating in a dramatic van drive-off. 10/10 for entertainment value on an otherwise dull afternoon, and definitely taught my elderly neighbour some new words. Love it.

This Friday the LDN Features recording of Daybreaker, captured in one take with a full band, will be available to stream! I was touched by the response to the video, so it can now be added to all your Spring playlists and enjoyed on your walks. x kpriddy.lnk.to/ldnsession #newmusic #newmusicfriday

happy twin peaks day to all who celebrate

A good a time as any to remind you that my tour starts on Wednesday. I know! Where has the time gone?! Some tickets still remain for a few of the dates, some are rarer and more collectible than others. All are an excellent decision. www.katheirnepriddy.co.uk/shows

Many thanks to @gidcoe.bsky.social for sticking 'Close Season' in a Mogwai and Syd Barrett sandwich on #BBC6Music this week, as well as reading out every single upcoming tour date. A great night to be an arts centre. Thank you for the radio real-estate Gideon x

Two tickets have just become available for the otherwise sold out intimate show in Wenlock Abbey's ancient Great Hall this Sunday. So if you weren't on my mailing list and missed out.... www.ldw-foundation.com/product/in-c...

Happy Valentine's Day folks. Not the happiest of days for some, perhaps. So he's a little cover of a Daniel Johnston favourite I recorded a few years ago, complete with swoony strings. It's one of my favourite kinda platonic love songs. May you feel loved, in whatever form it takes 🩷 xx

Day 4 into my little solo songwriting retreat. Came with no expectations but have two new songs and a couple of other seeds germinating. Most importantly I've realised that I really need unpressured but very structured practice and writing time - and a dedicated space. And lovely pubs help. 🩷

'LIVE AT UNION CHAPEL' Thrilled to be part of #RecordStoreDay on April 12th! This exclusive double LP on purple vinyl was recorded live at Union Chapel in London last year & includes a special vinyl etching by Chris Riddell. Save the date & check your nearest shop here: CookingVinyl.lnk.to/RSD25

Oh...also...a big announcement at 6pm x

Heads up, tour begins this month and Oxford, Glasgow, Stamford and Manchester have all got around 10 tickets remaining. So if you fancy it, now's your chance 😙 www.katherinepriddy.co.uk/shows

Really lovely review of the new single from @louderthanwar.bsky.social . Thanks guys! If you haven't heard it yet, there's links to listen in my bio.

I’m selling a face value ticket for the sold out Katherine Priddy gig at the Greystones in Sheffield on 27 Feb. It’s the only one on Twickets if anyone fancies it.

Full live performance of my new single 'Daybreaker', with words by #SimonArmitage is live now over on YouTube. Filmed and recorded in one take at The Kinks' studio down in London with a wonderful group of musicians. Let me know what you think! youtu.be/Xx1FM-VVCSQ?...

Pssst... Exclusive video of a live performance of 'Daybreaker' coming tomorrow, shot in one take at the legendary Konk Studios with the LDN Features house band. So proud of this, and can't wait for you all to see it. Will share the link when it's live x

In November @katherinepriddy.bsky.social did a song with the Poet Laureate Simon Armitage (Close Season) about the start of winter. Which was great, except it meant that winter was coming. Now they’ve released the other one, (Daybreaker), which means winter is leaving soon. 🙏

'Daybreaker' is out today! A joy to create this second Winter-themed song with #SimonArmitage — lt's warm, hopeful and a reminder that darkness is temporary and Spring is near. As Simon said, it's a song for that first day 'when it feels like sunlight is in the blood.' 🌞 kpriddy.lnk.to/daybreaker

'Daybreaker' steals in at midnight tonight, a glimpse of Winter sun through a crack in the curtain, a small green something pushing its way through frozen earth. Consider this your last chance to get into my good books by clicking pre-save.🌥 www.kpriddy.lnk.to/daybreaker #MusicSky #SimonArmitage

Out on Thursday...

Burns night is as good an excuse as any to pop open my birthday whisky. 🥃 Determined to do more exploring of Scotland this year.

Ahead of the release on the 30th, I've made a playlist of songs that in some way inspired and influenced the sound of my upcoming single 'Daybreaker'. That's not to say it sounds exactly like these, but there's some small moment that made some small impression. open.spotify.com/playlist/3ZW...

Well, I might not have won the award last night, but I did get to sing with the one and only Candi Staton, and that for me, is about as good as it gets. Truly a dream! 🩷🥹 #CandiStaton #younghearts

I had an anxiety dream about having two university essays due in on Monday and no time to complete them. I graduated almost a decade ago.

'Daybreaker', my new single and second collaboration with Poet Laureate Simon Armitage, is out on January 30th and available to pre-save now. A hopeful song for the end of Winter, and a timely reminder that the dark days can't last forever. 🌥️ kpriddy.lnk.to/daybreaker #MusicSky #Folk #Poetry

In non-music news, I finished my knitting project and I am very proud of it 🥹🐟 it's the Halibut Sweater by Caitlin Hunter. Living my fisherman fantasy. 🧶

Just signed off on something exciting...lots to come over the new few months folks! Just wish I didn't have to spend so long sitting on secrets, it doesn't come naturally 😅

RIP, David Lynch. Truly one of the great weirdoes in film and television history.

Wonderful tour supports announced for the Feb/March shows. Absolutely delighted to have all these talented folks opening for the shows - feeling very lucky. Tickets on sale now: katherinepriddy.co.uk/shows
