‘Coffee shop Troubadour Katy Furze is the new folk revival’s rising star, with an angelic voice and relentless strumming driving her gothic yet romantic lyrics forward Fudge (as her friends call her) has already supported the likes of the Frank Black of the Pixies and Beautiful South, played in front of thousands at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire, not including the 200 odd gigs around Yorkshire. This new inspiration transcended her classical background and created a new and aggressive folk image, her unique and powerful voice flings out spiteful, intelligent lyrics combining with her ruthless strumming pattern driving her character to the forefront. A powerful live performer and a beautiful singer. ‘– Daniel Mawer Hull College Music department
