It wasn't all cocktails and hammocks on my recent trip to America .
During my stay in Philadelphia with Ryan and Aislinn from Sunsplit, we did some recording in Ryan's studio .
I had a great time in Philly, despite getting punched three times in one night and being unceremoniously dunked in the Delaware .(Thankfully ,not on the same night ).

"Katy Cruel" is a a very old song.
It might be Scottish , or Irish in origin.
It might be from nowhere in particular
It's probably crossed the Atlantic a couple of times.
It might even have been round the world .
It's a travelling song about a travelling girl .
I enjoyed making it and I hope everyone else did too .
