Kate Nash fans will be thrilled to hear that the Brit Award winning artist is making a return to Belfast to play The Limelight this July. Kate has been busy working on her as-yet-untitled third album in LA and has announced a UK tour, titled ‘Faster Pussycat Run Run Tour‘. It has also been revealed that Nash will star in two feature films this year, details of which are yet to be announced. Kate Nash sold out her Mandela Hall visit in 2010 and tickets for the Limelight show on Wednesday 4th July are onsale from Thursday 10th May at 9am priced £14.50 + booking fee on www.limelightbelfast.com, www.ticketmaster.ie, Katy Dalys Bar and all usual outlets.
Kate Nash’s whirlwind music career began in 2006 as a 20yr old MySpace phenomenon, before she even had a record deal. By April of the same year she had signed to Fiction, 2 months later ‘Foundations‘ reached number 2 in the singles chart, and by August she was celebrating a number 1 album, that had had to be rush-released due to public demand.
Since then, Kate has followed up with an acclaimed second album ‘My Best Friend Is You’ and is respected for her extra-curricular activities including co-founding the Featured Artists Coalition with Billy Bragg and Blur’s Dave Rowntree and being involved in V-Day – the global movement aiming to end violence against women.
Last year, shocked by the lack of British female songwriters (only 14% of songwriters in the UK that receive PRS are women), she launched Kate Nash’s Rock n Roll for Girls After-School Music Club as a platform to inspire teenage girls to start songwriting and making their own music. Nash is also one of the founders, along with Billy Bragg and Blur’s Dave Rowntree, of the Featured Artists Coalition, which provides a voice for artists at a time of dramatic change in the music business.
