Tait's songs are sharply observed, laconic stories of everyday absurdity. A natural wordsmith who combines charm, humour and insight with richly melodic guitar/vocals, and deadpan delivery, to produce a stage act of unusual originality. This small town eccentric from NZ, who now lives in the jungle that is London town, has entertained audiences from Dunedin to Edinburgh with her ascerbic wit, self mockery and outrageous fib telling . (She has been writing songs since 1964 and is a 19 year old, blonde with a more than ample bosom and legs that go all the way up to her armpits ! ) She has produced two CDs entitled BASTARD and Vive Le Trafic! Kath performs 'outside' the Royal Albert Hall every Friday night. Apart from that she has exposed herself at the following prestigious festivals. Fairbridge festival, W. Australia 2003 Raise Your Banners festival of Political Song, UK, 2001. Fairbridge festival, W. Australia, 2001 Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2001 Australian National folk festival, 2001 Oxford International Women's festival, UK, 2000, 2001 Kent Literature festival, UK, 1999 Larmer Tree festival, UK, 1998 Warwick folk festival, UK, 1998 Guilford folk and blues festival, UK, 1993, 1994, 1998. Rochester Sweeps festival, UK, 1997 Auckland folk festival, NZ, 1994, 1996 'although her songs are undoubtedly outrageous, rebellious and earthy, they are often profound and oddly comforting'. RYTHMS magazine, Australia. 'Kath Tait, (whom I glimpsed at the National in the wine bar) had a main stage spot at which I became a convert. Her hilarious, self-depreciating songs are pearls wrung from the disasters and irritations of modern life.' Monaro Musings (Australian Folk Mag). 'Singer/songwriter, Kath Tait has lived and worked in London for the past decade. It was inevitable she left New Zealand, having insulted most of her family and friends in her songs. Behind the cheerful guitar and sweet voice lie lyrics of barbed wire. The ironies of modern life are her inspiration, the contrast in her disarming delivery and often explicit words, is her charm.' WAIKATO TIMES, New Zealand.
