“Kate relates stories of life, feelings of heartache and the passion most people conceal. Her self-penned songs are distinctive, thoughtful, heartfelt, provocative, humorous and most definitely all her own. They are unique. She is unique. Descriptive words layered upon unusual melodies blend together to create a totally original sound. Kate O’Callaghan is someone to watch. She surely has the talent to make her mark in the music world. Observe and enjoy.” - Dianes, Fanrealm (US)

"Kate’s song writing ability shines through with deep and meaningful lyrics that relate to life." - MRU (Ireland)

“Kate O’ Callaghan is that rare bird that manages to combine evocative melodies with intelligent considered lyrics. They cover a gamut of emotions from the sublime to the cathartic always imbued by a personal sadness that lingers constantly in the background. But this is the sadness of humanity that has the power to be uplifting” – P.Doherty, Musician (N.I)
