“Kate relates stories of life, feelings of heartache and the passion most people conceal. Her self penned songs are distinctive, thoughtful, heartfelt, provocative, humorous and most definitely all her own. They are unique. She is unique. Descriptive words layered upon unusual melodies blend together to create a totally original sound. Kate O’Callaghan is someone to watch. She surely has the talent to make her mark in the music world. Observe and enjoy.” Dianes, Fanrealm.

“Jazzy folk with a dash of fun, humour, crisp lyrics and excellent vocals. Impressive debut EP which belongs next to Imelda May & M. Shocked!.” P.Nagle, 2 U I Bestow (Irish Artist Music Website)

“Kate’s song writing ability shines through with deep and meaningful lyrics that relate to life.” Music Review Unsigned

“Performed exquisitely..” Oliver Bennett, The Independent on Sunday, London

“Kate O’ Callaghan is that rare bird that manages to combine evocative melodies with intelligent considered lyrics. They cover a gamut of emotions from the sublime to the cathartic always imbued by a personal sadness that lingers constantly in the background. But this is the sadness of humanity that has the power to be uplifting” – Peter Doherty, Musician.
