A favourite at UK festivals like Orange Ashton Court and Bath International Music Festival, Brooks has also supported many notable acts, including new acoustic sensation Newton Faulkner, Grammy Award nominees Cutting Crew, Mercury Award nominee Lou Rhodes (Lamb), and folk hero Martin Simpson.

As well as her growing UK fan-base, Katey has been garnering praise in Europe, and last year headlined the Bordeaux River Festival. She has played sessions on BBC Radio and other regional radio stations, and had airplay on BBC Radio 1’s much coveted Jo Wiley show. In 2007 Katey did a session to over a million listeners worldwide for the online radio chart show Pulse Rated. Following this, two of her songs, True Speaker and Hunger reached No.1 and stayed there for several weeks. She has released two EPs, Give me the words and True Speaker, and her much-anticipated debut album is currently in the making.
