Kate Crossan tells Gr谩inne Holland about her life as a singer and the influence that Canada had on her music after spending some time there. She was first noticed as a member of the Irish-Canadian band 'Kitty's Kitchen' and she tells us about the type of songs they sang, such as a song in Irish about lumberjacks! She still has a strong bond with Canada. Amongst the songs she sings is a song in honour of Derry, comprising a poem that's reportedly written by Colmcille.
