Jo and myself recently saw you perform at Lincoln Castle. Our daughter died in a accident and she loved you albums we played 'Time To Say Goodbye' at her funeral, she was 24 years old, and Nella Fantasia you now have two more fans. Thank you for touching our hearts.

I also attended Alderman Davies school but that was in the late 20's and early 30's. I must look out for that book on Alderman Davies School. But mainly congratulations to you and all you do for Wales and music generally. My mother was also a Jenkins so an added interest in your career. Just keep up the good work, you are Wales' Ambassador supreme!

I was born in Neath in 1938!!! It is wonderful to listen to Katherine on cd, her new one Seranade is superb. Makes me wish I was back in wales... The Green Grass of Home brought a tear, thank you Katherine.

I had the privilege of meeting Katherine when she visited her old school Alderman Davies's in Neath, she is a great ambassador for Neath and for Wales. I wish her all the best for the future.
