Kate Rusby - Fare Thee Well

[MrWaynevns]

This song makes me wanna up sticks and wander the countryside with a bow and arrow and a satchel with some flat bread in it. I would also have a hat.

[GaladedridDamodred]

Ohhhh, I melt every time I listen to this woman sing...

[myomy2009]

@GaladedridDamodred Me too...

[macefield1955]

I have been a fan of kate for some time and finally heard her live last year at Northampton. What an amazing voice. can't wait to see her again.

[jmacfadyen]

Going out on a limb here, this girl has an beautiful voice.

[afmorriarty]

Everything that's good about Yorkshire n English folk music

[rghall1971]

i love this woman, her music always lifts my spirits :)

[aborism]

Kate you lift our spirits and touch beauty!

[SoupAndSunday]

I love her songs .. I love her authentic voice of England ...

[xenophon92]

I'd just like to point out to everyone complaining about the end of this video, that the "obnoxious host" is Jools Holland, one of the best, most popular and most enduring musicians and television personalities in Britain.

Also, absolutely amazing music, and an incredible voice. Makes me even more proud to be from Yorkshire, if that's even possible.

[destructivedandy]

@xenophon92 I like Jools, but its fair to say he's never been the greatest host ever, but the fact that he has a go and that that's his style is charming as well as a little bit irritating. He's been like that since The Tube days

[gaelicgirlfilly]

She just looks like an angel at 4:00! Beautiful voice. I'm so glad I found more of her songs on here!

[306bad]

I have only been aware of Kate for a couple of week, managed to get the DVD live in Leeds and checked out many of her songs on you tube. She is a treasure and I love the way she sings with her thick Barnsley accent ok Pennistone accent. I love her music and when I her "Who`s going to sing me Lullabies " It gets to me and I love it.

She is brilliant and I hope I can see here soon in concert

[SoupAndSunday]

Her songs jst make me wanna dance .. how sweets her voice is :* :*

I <3 you katie..

[pteJames]

God Bless kate Rusby! she sings like an angel!

[silkystreebzz]

Kate has been given the voice of an angel, and this song is nothing short of angelic. so moving and so graceful.

[hammerwest1010]

Love it......great song, superb singer....and that youthful innocence and self-effacing demeanour just don't seem to fade....

x

[stefs001]

For me Kate is definetely the most inspiring voice of Britain's folk scene. Britain and Folk have a nightingale to cherish and let free to sing whenever she feels the need to....

[leadroy]

What a lovely voice, Kate has the x y and z factor I'm so glad My mother in law watches songs of praise or I would never have known

[richiewitt]

I love Irish singers, she's the next Shirley Bassey

[rickmystic]

@richiewitt And of course you are allowed to love Irish singers and compare whoever you like to Shirley Bassey, 'cept our kate is from Yorkshire not the Emerald Ises, and Shirley Bassey is Welsh and sings such an entirely different genre of music. Saying Kate Rusby is the next Shirley Bassey is like saying Chinese table tennis star Hao Shuai is the next David Beckham.

[mrsmeade001]

@richiewitt she's from yorkshire...

[Mirrigold]

@richiewitt that's cool, Kate's from Penistone near Barnsley in South Yorkshire however ;)

[magicelliotth]

@richiewitt Not sure whether you meant this as a joke or not?

[terigower]

just loved this share from Priscella such a beautiful post

[gibsonpaf]

Always knew Kates voice would be a good combination with a citern/bouzouki beautiful vocal as always

[Dorain1969]

100K for Kate!!!

[AhPoetry]

She is so fricking cool. I wish this was on the radio more than...a lot of the junk that is.

[AULDPIPER]

I am so happy to see the voice of England singing with the pride of Scotland. The proudest I have been in a unified Britain in a long time. Cheers Lass

[kikisub]

A unique voice, a soulful heart, and the face of an angel. Who could ask for more?

[pteJames]

when? And Where?

[Radio2Folk]

Another superb performance from Kate....so good!!

[blacksunfish]

GORGEOUS.

[pupcat2]

Kate Rusby is like heroin - once you hear her, you're addicted. Too bad the host of the show completely spoils the angelic moment with all his obnoxiousness (if that's even a word.)

[videowatcher077]

Kate sings with the voice of an angel :)

[Croagh]

Goodbye... safe journey x

[dazzajlee]

I choose angels to help me sleep. I can feel your wings and hear your halo as I drift.

[MistyWilliams]

John Mccusker on Guitar(or is it a banjo?) *^_^ :-P its the guy to the left of her *^_^

You should try to listen to some of the violin music he makes, hes the best there of a Violin (Fiddle)

[Agar101]

if you mean left on the video, it's a 5 course cittern

[ben909ben]

They were married for a time, no longer though...

Kate just had a baby this september

[AustraliaFare09]

Jooles has never spoken a truer word. I Truely Love Kate, so much talent so much soul and so much beauty!

[conceptsSUCK]

It's just lovely really.

[91170amo]

i believe in God when i hear her voice , her talent,and her beauty..it s love

[MORGANTHEMOON1]

I know what you mean.

She is a Godess

[spiralisedcat]

proper yorkshire lass is kate rusby,a yorkshire rose

[DonegalRaymie201]

@spiralisedcat

"proper yorkshire lass is kate rusby,a yorkshire rose"

Alright Mr. Boycott!

[Katerusbyfan14]

woooppppp kate rusby is amazing !!!

[KnightsbridgeStudios]

Magnificent. Kate is already a marvellous singer, and yet, the Pipes and Drums of the Scots Guards brings a military presence that makes even more musical. Absolutely brilliant.

[lunarluka64]

Wow yes! 51k now! Congratulations indeed Kate & Damien :) We all love you xoxo

[mahogonywhisper]

she does play the guitar :) but you don't necessarily have to play anything to be a folk SINGER

[DanPat121]

She does...just not on this song.

[stevetrellis]

100% Gorgeous

[InKlInG479]

just no words to describe her voice..

[Calaudia]

No la conocía, me encantó *-*

[nelenata]

Such a beautiful voice - so sweet and mellow. Although she does sound a bit as though she has a cold on this recording. Bless. :)

[Vogtalicious]

This version of the song brought tears to my eyes....she is wonderful!

[edwards21416]

well said maddogmacmad

[dazzzdelux]

personaly i like the pipes and drums with this.

[BJWoodcock]

English music, just like St georges day, is not celebrated nearly enough.

[madjockmacmad]

She has the voice of an ANGEL!!

sod the bagpipes on this and I am a Scotsman

[DonegalRaymie201]

I love the fact that she sings in her own Yorkshire dialect! It's "Brahss! and Clahss! not the Southern dipthongs. She is such a credit to real England! God bless Kate and i'm off to see her at Celtic Connections in Glasgow! Our Kate!

[edwards21416]

well said

[riversongwriter]

Hey there music lovers....(authentic). Does anyone have any info as to when and or where Kate will be in Southern California? What a true blessing, to be able to see her perform. I'dlove to travel to the British Isles, but times are lean. Any concerts in the USA in 2009......I'd love to go. Thanks. Her soulful voice gives me the sweet chills...and pure harmony can heal a broken heart. Thanks again.

[nyccolleen]

kate doesn't fly anymore. so the possibilities are slim... sorry to say.

[mannism]

You can always check her Web site. I booked to see her at The Sage at Newcastle from there. Honestly, if you knew what England was like, playing in London is like a foriegn country to Kate!

[AULDPIPER]

Kate , I love you !

[PeelTower]

The authentic voice of England. This girl reminds all who know, just how forgotten the real voice of the country has become under the weight of the estuary wide boys in London and their sickening sucking up to everything foreign.

[AndyRaslan]

@PeelTower I'm not British, but I agree. Most british guys my age I know don't even have a proper accent anymore. Blame the Americans :)) (and don't forget to remind them where the Mayflower came from!)

[gaelicgirlfilly]

@AndyRaslan Haha! Nice try, but the Mayflower was carrying the English Separatists avoiding persecution by Queen Elizabeth I and her successor, King James I. The Separatists fled to Leyden, Holland before leaving for the New World after they realized that the Dutch were having too "worldly" of an influence on their children. So technically, you can't blame it on the Americans. Cheers, lad! ;-)

[kentishsteve]

@PeelTower very very true

[SJSargant]

@PeelTower Kate Rusby has indeed a great voice but your other comments are bullshit!

[Draigcat]

Amazing voice! She's overlooked. love her (and Guy Garvey!)

[carogee]

Excellent!

[cuzinkevin]

Kate is a national treasure

[FroggieEsther]

J'adore!!!<3 Why oh why isn't she famous here in France?

[DanPat121]

...And acts like this are why Jools Holland can't be topped.

[DeeArr]

You have to admire the person mixing this, A pipe band is a powerful thing and yet the balance is pretty spot on. I uses play snare drum in a pipe band and 4 pipers, 2 snares and a drum major (about half a small marching band) can make some noise is mean to be heard over a battlefield.

[fezboy22]

She's coming to St Albans in Novemeber. Happy Days.

[Claymore1977]

voice of an angel =)

[nickclapton]

amazing performance but i dont think much of the intro lol 'shes just great, shes, she is, shes wonderful Kate Rusby!'

[Quietlydoesit]

I love the way Kate Rusby sings with her own accent. It lends her music such authenticity and original beauty. Unbeatable. She is wondrful.

[snoozeyoulose19]

Kate does a mix of stuff derived from English folk but is influenced by British folk more generally. Her ex husband is Scottish so maybe he insisted. Bring on the bagpipes! Oh and the kilts! ;)

[lunargirl64]

Also, wasn't this broadcast on New Years Eve? - 'Hogmanay' and all that ;)

[edwardgbell]

Oh my god, yes it was.

I was sat alone as all my friends were up to general mischief upstairs at a house party. It was like 1am by the time this came on, and I couldn't actually move for half an hour. Such a beautiful song. I met her in Oxford on her tour in late 2006, it must have been 2004/5 when this was on the show, no?

E.

[xoxsk8erchikxox]

it was very very early on 1st january 2006,

i remember watching it and knowing all the words because i got the CD for christmas 6 days earlier, and I was refusing to move from my seat as soon as i saw her in the celebrity audience bit.

and i somehow knew all the words off by heart after only 5 and a half days hahaha.

♥

[brother1ray]

And she's a Yorkshire Lass! Why she got Scots pipes and drummers? Not that I don't like them on this,i do, just can't see the Englishfolk connection!

[katferg1]

The thing about folk music is, blending different music makes new, exciting and wonderful music. There doesn't need to be a racial connection. The music is connection enough.

[brother1ray]

What I meant is that her original recording doesn't have them on it, just wondered why they appear on the live version. I like it and agree it works. Wouldn't say we Scots are a different "race" from the English (though some might!) I guess you meant "ethnic connection"?

[lunargirl64]

Stunning! Thankyou so much for posting this <3

[emuhXc]

As an American, and having stumbled on her by mistake... were missing out on such a gem, and she's a hottie so =P

[solemnvole]

...and you've just got to love the accent! :)

[LMNUTTA]

i love her accent too, she doesn't put it on and its lovely x

[ncm1965]

Is this not the most perfect song for New Year - Odd in March to feel like new year has come listening to this!

[Dorain1969]

Definitely an ideal song for any day of the year. As a mate commented on her before '...so cute, you want to put her in your pocket & take her home...'

[gordbard]

@Dorain1969 Yes, I've read that she's often asked her age when she wants to buy a bottle of wine. I've seen her live and she's absolutely adorable. Also, you can rest assured that English traditional music will remain alive and well as long as she and others like her are on the scene.

[gummoboy]

: ) love her shes so sweet

[landrovercu04]

The voice of an angel. Pipes and drums finish it off perfection.

[2814310]

yes thanks for posting the vid

[gandersourcefilms]

wonderful. thank you for posting this.
