Kate Rusby


Of all the stars in Folk Music's wondrous firmament few shine as brightly as Yorkshire's Kate Rusby.

A remarkable interpretive singer, Kate's soulful vocals resonate with the wistful beauty of an earthbound angel. Inhabiting a lyric with unforced conviction – no matter how old or how modern – she has that rare ability to transport her audience, of touching them emotionally and making each tune live vividly within their experience and imagination. It's a precious gift attained through simplicity, understatement and faith in the narrative drive of the songs she chooses to sing.

No wonder then that as early as 1999, aged just 26, Kate was named as one of the Top Ten Folk Voices of the Century. Everything she has done since has confirmed the foresight of those who bestowed that honour. From being a nominee for 1999's Mercury prize – almost unheard of for a folk singer both then and now – for her stunningly assured second solo album, Sleepless, to 2014's captivating album Ghost, Kate has stayed true to her folk and acoustic roots.

The evening includes Kate's choice of much-loved classics from her back catalogue stretching over her two decades of music making, together with a selection of new songs from her latest album Ghost. As ever, she is joined on stage by the fabulous British folk musicians who form her band.

The crossover appeal Kate enjoys is unprecedented for a folk singer and has been achieved without resort to compromise. Rusby's wondrous singing and hugely engaging Yorkshire wit combined with the intuitive support of the band, ensures that audiences will be treated to a truly remarkable and unforgettable concert experience.
