The 24-year-old British guitarist recorded her album in a friend’s bedroom and named it “Tim’s House” in his honour.
Ignored by mainstream press and radio, “Tim’s House” is the latest example of an artist - and an album - bypassing the traditional publicity routes and finding success by word of mouth on the internet.
I use to know her since last year with her “Tim’s House” EP version (seems not to be included in her official discography), since, the title “It’s Never Over” is my preferred song.
Kate Walsh is a British singer/songwriter from Burnham-On-Crouch, Essex, a small fishing village. Her music is characterized by her beautiful voice and life caressing vocals which is as calm and unfettered as the late Eva Cassidy’s.. She is an artist who takes you away from the rush and madness of the world. Her music has a timeless quality especially the gorgeous “Your Song and Goldfish”, making it hard to believe she was only 20 when she released her first homemade album (she was 23 when her second album, Tim’s House, was released).
Citing in her musical references, Joni Mitchell, Tori Amos, Rufus Wainwright, The Shins, Talk Talk, The Velvet Underground, Pink Floyd, Red House Painters, Magnet, Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, and Sufjan Stevens, “Tim’s House” is delicately poised, composed of gentle strums, brush pats on a snare drum and Kate’s whisper. But that’s the only platform she needs, because in these quiet moments a power resides - a bruised intensity that creeps from beneath pretty tunes.

If you’re searching for Britain’s answer to Norah Jones, look no further.
