Tait

 |
| Kath Tait ‘s songs are
sharply observed, laconic stories of everyday absurdity. A natural
wordsmith who combines charm, humour and insight with richly
melodic guitar/vocals, and deadpan delivery, to produce a
stage act of unusual originality. This small town eccentric from
NZ ,who now lives in the jungle that is London town, has entertained
audiences from Dunedin to Edinburgh with her ascerbic wit, self
mockery and outrageous fib telling . (She has been writing
songs since 1964 and is a 19 year old, blonde with a more than ample
bosom and legs that go all the way up to her armpits ! ) |
| |
| She has produced
two CDs entitled BASTARD and VIVE LE TRAFIC! |
| |
| Kath performs ‘outside’ the Royal Albert Hall every Friday
night. Apart from that she has exposed herself at the following prestigious festivals
in England , New Zealand and Australia:Wellington, Dunedin, Hamilton, Auckland, Guilford, Rochester Sweeps, Warwick,
Larmer Tree, Australian National, Fairbridge folk festivals.Kent
Literature, Oxford Women’s, Edinburgh Fringe & Raise Your Banners
festivals. |

| ‘her ascerbic wit, irony, and
self mockery still have
me chuckling’, Frankie
Armstrong. |

‘although her songs are undoubtedly
outrageous, rebellious and earthy, they are often profound and
oddly comforting’.

‘Kath Tait, (whom I glimpsed
at the National in the wine
bar) had a main stage spot at which I became
a convert. Her hilarious, self- deprecating songs are pearls
wrung from the disasters and irritations of modern
life.’ Australian
Folk Mag – ‘Monaro Musings’.

‘Singer/songwriter, Kath Tait
has lived and worked in London for the past decade. It was inevitable
she left New Zealand, having insulted most of her family and friends
in her songs. Behind the cheerful guitar and sweet
voice lie lyrics of barbed wire. The ironies of modern life are
her inspiration, the contrast in her disarming delivery and often
explicit words, is her charm.’ - WAIKATO TIMES, New Zealand.
