Latest news on Kate:

The soundtrack album of "Castaway" is in the shops in GB on EMI records.
Kate's song is track 1 side 1.

According to one paper I saw, Kate was scheduled to appear in 'The Secret
Policeman's Third Ball' at the London Palladium on 28/29th March. This
is the third of the irregular galas to raise money for Amnesty International.
If previous events are any guide there will be a film/video and album to
follow. Other artists mentioned included Peter Gabriel, Lou Reed, Jackson
Browne, (Sir) Bob Geldof, Mark Knopfler and Joan Armatrading.

Kate is one of a whole host of British artists featured on a new version
of the Beatles' classic 'Let it be'. The record is released under the
collective title 'Ferry Aid' and all proceeds will go towards a fund for
the relatives of the victims of the Zeebrugge ferry disaster.
The record is distributed by CMS records and is numbered AID1; it was
recorded at PWL Studios, The Borough, London between March 15-17th. The
sleeve features a small photo of Kate, along with ones of Paul McCartney,
Boy George, Mark Knopfler, Mark King, someone who may be Jaki Graham, and the
lead singer from Curiosity Killed the Cat. Kate gets to sing a couple of
lines as lead vocalist about two thirds of the way through the song. The B-side
features a short gospel mix in which it is impossible to distinguish any
individual vocals. This single is widely tipped to enter the charts at number
one this week. I expect there will be a video to go with it and will post
any news as to whether Kate appears in this.
