At Home with Kate Stables

Episode 11 of 20

Conversations and solo performances by songwriters living away from their country of birth. For this episode, Verity Sharp calls up Winchester-born, Paris-based singer Kate Stables.

As the year prepares to turn, Verity Sharp dials up singer songwriters who are living far from home. Are they more mindful of their roots at this time of year? Has the pandemic made them feel closer or further away from home? Or is music all they need to help keep them connected?

In this episode, Kate Stables from This Is the Kit, talks about her adopted home of Paris and the sensation of singing in a language that isn鈥檛 your own. One of two sets of twins, she reflects on the enduring closeness of family and sings about taking strength from starting over.

Presented and produced by Verity Sharp.
A Reduced Listening production for 大象传媒 Radio 3.
