Kate Rusby - Celebrating 30 Years in 2022

“Looking back, I firmly believe music chose me, not the other way round.” - Kate Rusby

‘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…’ - Sunday Times

“ …. exquisite interpretations of traditional material from the pocket-sized folk singer with the heartbreakingly tremulous voice and bawdy, Yorkshire wit” - Daily Telegraph

Kate Rusby is often hailed as the ‘First Lady of Folk’. Announcing herself to the music press in 1999 with a Mercury Music Prize, she has forged an impressive 30-year career and headlining everywhere from the Royal Albert Hall to Cambridge Folk Festival.

2022 sees her celebrate 30 years as a professional musician with a new album release, ’30 : Happy Returns’ released in May 2022.

A remarkable, interpretive singer, Kate’s soulful vocals resonate. Inhabiting a lyric with unforced conviction – no matter how old or how modern – she has that rare ability to transport her audience. 2022 audiences will be treated to Kate’s @30 interpretations of her songs.

As ever, she will be joined on stage by her band, each a virtuoso in their own right and including her husband and producer Damien O’ Kane.

The crossover appeal Kate enjoys is unprecedented for a folk singer and has been achieved without resort to compromise. Her recent reimagined covers album Hand Me Down was her highest charting album to date.

Rusby’s wondrous singing and hugely engaging Yorkshire wit and the intuitive support of the band ensure that audiences will be treated to a truly remarkable and unforgettable concert experience.
