Award-winning singer-songwriter Katie Doherty will bring her band The Navigators back to Whitby for a special concert in aid of the Diocese of Middlesbrough Lourdes Sick Fund.
St Hilda’s Parish is once again organising the show, which will take place in the Chapel On The Hill in Brunswick Street on Saturday September 23.
Teesside-born Katie has previously toured with Kathryn Tickell, Kate and Anna McGarrigle and Ray Davies but some of her earliest memories are as part of our Lourdes pilgrimage.
“Growing up on Teesside my musical memories are made up of Vin Garbutt playing at my school and listening to my older brother and sister playing in the Lourdes music group,” says Katie. “It was my dream to follow in their footsteps. 
“Then the Wildcats of Kilkenny kept me dancing in my teenage years. Fast forward a few years and my husband and I were blessed to be married by Father Pat Keogh at the Lady Chapel in Osmotherley and I am always delighted to be able to return to my homeland to play music.
“I know I can count on the audience to be in good voice.”
