Forever proud to call herself a folk singer, Kate Rusby’s vocals never fail to connect the heart of a song to that of her audience. The crossover appeal Kate enjoys is unprecedented for a folk singer and has been achieved without resort to compromise.

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 that honour. From being a 1999 Mercury Prize Winner – almost unheard of for a folk singer both then and now – to her latest albums ‘Life In A Paper Boat’, ‘Philosophers Poets and Kings’, ‘Holly Head’ and ‘Hand Me Down’ Kate has stayed true to her folk and acoustic roots.

Her cover of Manic Monday (Hand Me Down 2020) featured on the BBC Radio 2 playlist. The guests on her 2022 album 30 : Happy Returns is testament to Rusby’s wide appeal and include the likes of Ladysmith Black Mambazo, KT Tunstall, and Beth Nielson Chapman. Celebrating over 30 years of touring and 22 albums including her latest beautifully stunning Christmas album, Light Years, released last December, Kate and her band of merry and very talented men will be visiting us in her 50th birthday year with songs old and new.

“Everybody loves and respects Kate Rusby, not just for her lovely voice, but for the way she has moved folk forward, while remaining true to tradition”
