Folk artist Katie Spencer takes you to the Edge of The land with a show at Portsmouth Cathedral

And the Yorkshire-based folk artist has an affinity for coastal regions.

"I really love playing in coastal places, like Portsmouth, because I find that a lot of the music that I'm playing seems to resonate more with people in those sorts of locations,” she explains.

“A lot of the songs I've written are about the landscape that I know the best, which is the east coast and Yorkshire – I grew up near the River Humber and the North Sea. A lot of the songs are informed by that landscape so it feels special to share this kind of universal feeling that we all have with the connection to the landscape and especially if that involves water – it can be really powerful for people.

“A lot of the songs I write are celebrating people and the places I know the best.”

Katie will be playing at Portsmouth Cathedral, having been invited back to the city following a show at The Groundlings Theatre last year.

“Afterwards I met one of the women who is involved in putting on events at the cathedral. She'd come along to that gig as a punter and really enjoyed it and got in touch with me about putting on a gig at the cathedral next time I was down that way.

“I've also done a little bit of work for them – they did a soundscape garden experience last summer and I provided some of the music for that which was lovely, so it will be lovely to play live in there. That was through the same lady – she thought my music would be a nice fit for that environment.”
