'‘The damnedest thing I heard all week ... the a capella vocal virtuosity of Kate Dimbleby…Her stunning a capella album Songbirds ...accompanied by a UK tour of her acclaimed one woman show.. an artist at the top of her game.' Tom Robinson BBC 6 Music

'There's a cupful of The Roches in some of its quirkiness, a shot of The McGarrigles in some of the more tender moments, together with a teaspoonful of Laurie Anderson in the slightly challenging Happy.. Kate Dimbleby has carved out a niche for herself in the genre of layered vocal pyrotechnics...SONGBIRDS has every likelihood of taking you by surprise as it did I" Allan Wilkinson, Northern Sky Magazine

'Songbirds is that vocal-only album that suggests a rare and peerless talent…. striking, majestic voice that is, if anything, at its peak here. Never has she sounded more graceful and entrancing as she does on Songbirds…. It is testament to Kate Dimbleby that she is able, so far along in her career, to sound new and reborn…Songbirds is a wonderful collection everyone should have'. Sam Liddicott
