In June kitti shared a bill with ten other acts at the prestigious boutique House Festival (the others included Franz Ferdinand, Black Eyed Peas and Groove Armada), followed by a slot this weekend at Tenement Trail. Her recently-released track, Chasing The Crowd, gives a flavour of her writing and with GR Management on board (they also look after Texas and Primal Scream) we expect to be hearing a lot more from kitti, in the coming year visit https://www.facebook.com/hiitskitti/ Olaf Furniss and Derick Mackinnon run the music industry seminar and social night Born To Be Wide.
