Catherine Feeny chats to I Like Music
CATHERINE: It kind of evolves over time, but with most of the songs on that album, the lyrics and the music came together at the same time. With songs like Hurricane Glass and Touch Back Down and Hush Now, the lyrics just came out fully formed as they were, but with songs like Unsteady Ground or Always Tonight, those I rewrote several times, because I hadn't quite gotten what I wanted to get or it didn't quite sound like I wanted it to sound. I think it's really exciting and fun and satisfying if you can sit down and in an hour or two have a song, that's really cool.
ILM: There's been a groundswell of independently generated fans for you, a rapidly growing fan base in both the UK and U.S, and support slots for the likes of Martha Wainwright and Suzanne Vega - how was it touring with Martha and Suzanne?
CATHERINE: It was fantastic. It's always lovely to tour with people, especially women, who have more experience and people who you can learn from. Martha Wainwright has been on the stage since she was a very young kid; she has a very showbiz family. She's so comfortable on stage she just rolls with whatever comes her way and just makes it ok and funny and part of the show and that's something I really enjoyed watching and felt that I could steel a little bit of that.

Sam, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly: ilikemusic because... Music is a special thing that is not like anything else in the world.

Master Gee: ilikemusic because... It gives me an opportunity to truly express myself, unlike what happens in an everyday living situation where there are restrictions on you and limitations on you and demands on you and bills to pay, through music I can truly be comfortable with who I am, and do what I really want to do and say what I really want to say.

simon f baker: ilikemusic because... you can transcend the confines of the material world with it, it's probably better than shagging in fact. There is virtually nothing more satisfying than when a load of chords and words suddenly come together into a song ; suddenly everything in life seems to fit and make sense once more.
