Kathryn Roberts

Kathryn Roberts is a British folk singer, from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, England.

Her first released recordings were on the album "Intuition", a collection of songs by various South Yorkshire folk artists which also included her friend Kate Rusby. Roberts went on to record the critically acclaimed album Kate Rusby & Kathryn Roberts with her in 1995.

Roberts and Rusby both decided to join the band Equation, recording a demo CD during 1995. Rusby and Roberts shared lead vocals. Rusby left soon after, to be replaced with Cara Dillon. Dillon also left after one album, leaving Roberts as the sole lead singer.

Equation have enjoyed considerable success in the USA, but also have a following back in England. Currently on hiatus, Roberts is now touring and recording with Equation bandmate Sean Lakeman as the duo Kathryn Roberts & Sean Lakeman.
