Details

A national radio regular and with several albums to her credit, including the hit Songs of Dory Previn, Kate Dimbleby has been described by The Times as ?One of the most versatile singers on the jazz/blues circuit'. A natural born performer and drawn to music from a young age, she grew up in a family where performing was the norm. Her father is the broadcaster David Dimbleby and her mother was a trained classical singer. Her uncle on her mother's side played jazz piano, trumpet and blues harp, and inspired her with his collection of gramophone records. "For years I've made shows about other people's voices and stories - hiding behind the smooth sophistication of Peggy Lee, the bold blues of Bessie Smith, the fragile tones of Dory Previn. But I've always had another nagging voice in my head - what's my true story?" So I started listening... recording the sounds and people around me. If they had a song, what would it be? "This show is about the voices we keep locked up inside. About the need for connection. Outside and in. About me and you. Right here, right now" Kate Dimbleby.
