Kate Rusby
18 April 2010
19:30pm
Usher Hall
The defining voice of contemporary English Folk Music, Kate Rusby's exquisite interpretations of traditional songs and finely wrought self-penned tunes have won her an audience that reaches beyond the genre. A rare achievement for a folk artist but entirely understandable given Rusby's expressive vocals that invest whatever she sings with irresistible emotional depth. On stage Rusby delivers every time. Her bands never cease to amaze, always comprising the cream of Britain's folk instrumentalists, while her between-song stories and introductions are cut through with a hugely engaging Yorkshire wit. She is truly an artist to be cherished by lovers of good music everywhere.
