Kate Eve

about

Kate's Dad played French Horn in various orchestras & theatre bands, played piano and sang (He really wanted to be a musician; but ended up becoming a doctor as well). There are loads of memories around trying to shut out the sound of horn practice. Her Mum always sang. On occassion she sang Kate to sleep with 'Golden Slumbers' (way sweeter than The Beatles), she sang in choirs and continues to sing. In fact, the whole family can sing and harmonise and all have played and dabbled with various instruments, and all love music. Music was a constant – live music a presence. Kate learnt piano throughout primary school, made up songs, and like all Australian school kids back then, learnt to play Recorder. Later she went on to play Tenor recorder because it was deeper and richer and bigger, and she even had a go at Oboe for a while. Kate's vocal ability was further developed when she was placed in various choirs in secondary school. Having given up recorder, oboe and piano, Kate decided to teach herself guitar, a method which has proven to be both free-ing and frustrating. However, it was this endeavour which enabled Kate to begin composing songs. At Kate's first public solo performance at 18yrs old, in a coffee shop on Phillip Island, Victoria, she played three original songs, and discovered that the friend who had encouraged and pushed her to play was right – people did get something from the songs. For a number of years afterwards Kate busked, performed and co-wrote songs wit
