An Hour of Sad Songs

Kate Lewis and Katie Pomery have been collaborating in many forms for many years – from co-writing a new musical to co-running their community choir. In this show, they come together to reimagine their solo songs and share new combined work. Their introspective and emotive writing speaks to the human experience and all the feelings that come with it. Together they weave stories around themes of identity, belonging and the complexities of heartbreak.

"Much like tender topics require tender care, Katie has created music that feels sympathetic and compassionate to a past self that is hurting." City Mag

"[Lewis writes] the type of song that gets you nostalgic about lost loves and past connections." The Note
