Katie Doherty and the Navigators

Katie Doherty is an Award-winning songwriter, also well known for her work with theatre having composed the score for the award-winning rural touring musical Beyond the End of The Road as well as countless others for November Club, Northern Stage, and The RSC. Katie has toured with Kathryn Tickell and supported Kate and Anna McGarrigle, Karine Polwart and Ray Davies. 

With fiddler Shona Mooney (Former Scottish Young Trad Musician of the Year, founder member of The Shee) and the smiliest man in Folk, Dave Gray on Melodeon, Katie formed Katie Doherty and The Navigators. The album, And Then, was released in early 2019 to high critical acclaim, airplay all over Europe, including live sessions on both BBC Radio 2’s Mark Radcliffe show and BBC Radio 3’s In Tune. Their tour schedule has been extensive taking in support shows for Blue Rose Code, Rachel Newton and Sam Kelly and The Lost Boys as well as headline shows across the UK including Stage 2 at Cambridge Folk Festival. Their sound is much bigger than their component parts, the positivity in the music is contagious and their shows are intimate and joyful.
