guitar player.
guitar player.
Her sharply observed narrative songs are pure poetry, rich with
visual imagery and written with an eco-eye – bound loosely by the theme of
mankind’s relationship with the wild. This autumn sees the release of Kitty
Macfarlane's highly anticipated debut album Namer of Clouds,
produced by Sam Kelly and Jacob J Stoney and featuring a recognisable cast of

Gathering inspiration from the sky to the seabed, Kitty’s lyrics
touch on intervention and rewilding, climate change and migration and one
singular song which is a magical aural tapestry of woman’s historical
relationship with textiles and the land. From the starling murmurations on the
Somerset Levels to the lowly eel's epic transatlantic migration, and the small
part we ourselves play in a much bigger picture.

locations from Somerset to Sardinia – birdsong, waterfalls, the click of
knitting needles- and is bookended by sounds of the wild. She's toured with
