KATHRYN CLEMENTS sings SONGS OF IRELAND A MARY BLACK TRIBUTE

Kathryn Clements is one of Australia’s finest exponents of Traditional Irish song. Kathryn’s haunting voice will move you to tears as she unfolds her beautiful stories and songs from the Irish tradition. However it is her capacity to engage with and entice her audiences, to open their hearts to all that the beauty of song can offer, that has people coming back asking for more!
Kathryn has a depth of experience teaching Traditional Irish singing in workshops at Port Fairy Folk Festival; National Folk Festival and National Celtic Folk Festival and she is a past Recipient of the Lis Johnson Memorial Award at the National Folk

Kathryn Clements is also a soulful and skilled singer songwriter whose songs speak to the very heart of what it is to be human. Her latest song "Little Boy Blue" features on her new, soon to be released  CD,  "Songs of Love and Freedom".  This song was inspired by the ABC television program Revelation . It was written for all the young boys( and girls)  and their families who were so tragically abused at the hands of the Catholic Church in Australia. My hope is that it helps spread their story and that the song also lets the victims and their families know that we hear and believe them.

S:et Us Free:  is also featured on Kathryn's latest CD,. It is  a song of hope and freedom, inspired by the book, No Friend but the Mountain, written on a mobile phone by Kurdish journalist Behrouz Boochani  who, in 2013, was illegally and indefinitely detained on Manus Island. It was also inspired by all those who continue to be held illegally in detention throughout Australia.

Songs of Hope and Haven: New Album by Kathryn Clements 

Kathryn Clements…...Songs of Hope and Haven 

A collection of songs written and composed by Kathryn to inspire and strengthen the listener during these troubled times……. Our world is changing at cosmic speed and the values we hold dear: patience, kindness, tenderness, hope, respect and love….. seem to be disintegrating before our very eyes. May these songs be a haven and give you hope… may they strengthen and inspire you to never give up and to live, love and trust from your heart.

Track 2 "Sorry" is  inspired and dedicated to the great indigenous artist Archie Roach; Track 3" Welcome Here" is for all those who seek Asylum in Australia; Track 4" Behind Closed Doors" is inspired and written for Rosie and Luke Batty and for all those who have experienced Domestic Violence.

Enjoy!
