Reading article about the Leicester accent

Recorded on phone so poor quality but, I hope, better quality than my last attempt at this song about 3 years ago.

If it hadn't been for love (take 2) - Kathryn Dobson

What are you doing New Year's Eve - Kathryn Dobson

Summertime - Kathryn Dobson

Valerie - Kathryn Dobson

Taken from Kiss Me Kate. I admit that there's one top note I can't reach so have improvised plus there's a couple of bits I wasn't sure how to fit to the music so have improvised again. Recorded on iPhone.

So in Love - Kathryn Dobson

A traditional Gaelic song that I first sang when I was 13. I am not in anyway Scottish and have no knowledge of the Gaelic language. The title above may be spelt incorrectly and my pronunciation may be lacking - I only ever learned to sing it phonetically and I'm singing from memory. Please forgive me.

Fail Il O Ho Ro - Kathryn Dobson

Me reading a poem I wrote...with special thanks to Richard Armitage

Hope Springs...a poem - written and read by Kathryn Dobson

A parody of Who is Silvia? by Shakespeare and set to music by Schubert. Written and recorded for a special friend who is celebrating a birthday today!

I hope Shakespeare will forgive my impertinence!

Who is Julia? - Kathryn Dobson

Recorded on my phone...love this song. Pronunciation is as per the Andrews Sisters.

Bei Mir Bist Du Schön - Kathryn Dobson

I love to sing...always have. I don't profess to be especially good at it and I certainly don't have the means to record myself properly but I enjoy giving it a go.

I need to be surgically removed from my iPad and am addicted to my camera. I write, blog, take photos, enjoy genealogy and often need saving from myself!
