Kate Rusby, sometimes known as the Barnsley Nightingale is one of the most important contemporary British folk singers. Drawing from both contemporary and traditional sources, her material is so charming and guileless that she has become one of the few performers within the folk idiom who has transcended it and become far more than a folk singer.
Born into a musical family in Sheffield in 1973, after becoming proficient on a number of instruments including the guitar, the fiddle and the piano, as well as honing her natural talent as a singer, she played in many local folk festivals as a child and teenager before joining (and becoming the lead vocalist of) the all-female Celtic folk band The Poozies. They recorded one EP and an album together before Kate left to concentrate on her burgeoning solo career.
Together with fellow Barnsley songstrel Kathryn Roberts she released an album called simply Kate Rusby and Kathryn Roberts, which two years later, was followed by her debut solo album Hourglass. Over the next fifteen years Kate became a British folk institution. Perhaps the most telling tribute to her was in 2012 when Island Records reinstated their legendary pink label, home of such musical luminaries as Fairport Convention, Dr Strangely Strange and Nick Drake, for Kate’s album 20. It was a telling moment, because Kate has become as important to the current era of this music, which is larger and more important than just folk music, but which despite its commercial and cultural success retains the humility and humanity of ‘the people’s music’, as the aforementioned acts were in previous eras.
Kate remembers listening to the music on the Pink Island label when she was growing up. Somewhere there is a young girl who is humming Kate Rusby songs as she plays with her skipping rope, unaware that in a few short decades, she too, will take the world by storm.

Such a beautiful voice. Nothing like it anywhere in the world. Why don't we hear more of her on national radio here in England? Best wish to you Kate. Keep safe and well.
Such a talented singer. Love the family are all involved.
Kate as an etherial quality to her voice laced with traces of her beautiful Yorkshire accent which I find mesmerizing. I grew up in the 50´s and 60's listening to and enthralled by the amazing Sandy Denny who sadly passed away far too young. Kate has taken up Sandy's place as the UK's foremost female folk and contemporary singer songwriter and although she has a different singing style to Sandy for me she is definitely on par. Long may she continue to please audiences with here inimitable style, the quality of her voice and her homely 'Yorkshire lass' character and humour. Thanks for sharing this video.
A beautiful singer
Stunning...simply stunning...to hear an accent so honest and genuine is such a simple but rare pleasure. I've never lost my accent, but here down on the other side of the world it has no value or history. This is such a wonderful reconnection to my history & my roots. Kate, you are a national treasure!
Lovely!
(re: song about the step mum shopping up the the king's daughter into little bits and serving her to the king) "That's Lancashire for ya! Wouldn't find that in Yorkshire!" LOL I love it!
Amazing voice .. been to many of her concerts over many years and still gives me goose bumps when i hear that voice
A truly magical moment to meet you and your music face to face! Love the Rusbys! XXXXX
