Brilliant! It is so good to hear something reflecting the genuine native English musical culture for once, rather than the usual Anglo-American commercial pop/rock rubbish.
It has taken twenty years for me to hear Kate Rusby. I was watching a prog about the dales when I heard Kate. I was on youtube all night soaking up the songs of KR and I did not find a bad one. I purchased the Livefromleeds dvd and if you are going to the Halifax gig tomorrow night I will see you there. Kate is a brilliant singer ,song writer and she makes music look easy and I love the way she sings in a Barnsley accent.
Saw Kate in Truro, Cornwall tonight and am blown away. Just wonderful. A very very funny entertaining lady and very down to earth and the most amazing beautiful voice and presence. Dear mixedgrill - I am now her biggest fan !!!!!!
I'm yet another Prof Cox and 'Universe' connector! just had to trace this beautiful track. I now know this song pretty well, and it will be part of my reportoire this summer when I get back to the Kootenays in Canada.
I will really try and get to see her when I'm back this autumn, but I fear she may take the winter off!
Thanks Kate for such great music, you really are wonderful!
Well i have never seen "Wonders of the Universe" but it seems that many folks have discovered the "Barnsley Nightingale" because of it. That can't be a bad thing for Kate, but might make my job of getting tickets to see her live a little harder in the future!
Yes, add me to the "found if from the Wonders of the Universe brigade" too. A very good collection of tunes on that show not least Clem Snide Moment In The Sun, the tune that appeared on the end credits on the first show in the first series. Will be a shame when the series is over again... :(
Heh heh gotta love the internet! Wonders of the Universe brought me here too! ¦o) Love Brian Cox, and have to say i quite like this Kate Rusby too...what a great song!! Any suggestions of what stuff of hers i can listen to next?
@ZombKev Been a fan of Kate's a long time before the wonders series. I could listen to her voice all day. The album this song is off is called 'Underneath the stars'. A good place to start with her music. Enjoy!!
Wonders of the Universe not only a great show but great music taste as well, she's good..........seriously good!!, kinda dangerous tho...... one of them voices that cud make u fall in love :-D
Thumbs up if 'The Wonders of the Universe' brought you here, and you are a grateful new fan of Kate Rusby!!! She's just wonderful, been checking out all her songs :o))))
@miscu99 and everyone else! She's touring in the UK! 23/02/12 Wolverhamptonm; 24/02/12 Buxton Opera House; 26/02/12 Scunthorpe!! I bet she sounds amazing live. Thank you Wonders of the Universe and oh yes Kate Rusby you're a-mazing!!
dazzajlee, I hope things are getting better for you. I got through a rough patch listening to a lot of Kate's music too. Be strong and accept help from those who care about you. There is a good world out there. Kate has had her bad times too apparently, which is probably why her music touches us so accutely. Love listening to her voice and the mix of touching and amusing she performs. She helps me laugh as well as cry!
@sheilaburslem Bless you for comfort and kind words. Joy and sorrow follow me constantly and Kate stands by regardless. With tears streaming its falling I feel again. Strength and courage will see me through. God Bless X
this is the first time ive heard her beutiful voice ! im totaly smitten with her voice . brings a tear to my eyes , a voice to heal broken harts ,and soothe the soul . thank you for posting
I love all of Kate Rusby's songs. This was the first one I heard and for that will always hold a special place in my heart. She's definetely my favorite singer. :)
alliepugs Do yourself a favour and get tickets for the 14th and the 15th as well if you can afford it , seeing Kate once is not enough ! I know she is in Canada in late July / early August at Canmore and Edmonton folk festival but seeing Kate live ONCE is not Enough !! Believe me !!! ! Catch her while you can !!!
My composition teacher had us listen to this song in class. I couldn't help but shed a tear, it is just so beautiful, and it reminds me of my boyfriend of almost 3 years who is going to be leaving for the military. This song makes me stronger every time I listen to it. Thank you for your beautiful music Kate <3
Kate is appearing at Hugh's Room in Toronto, Ontario, on March 14 and March 15, 2010. I just booked the tickets yesterday ($35 each). Hurry - it's filling up!
Sorry, I don't know. I think I remember reading somewhere that she is playing in Montreal, Quebec a few days before the Toronto concert but I don't know about the U.S.
Some voices carry "meaning" just by the quality of the sound. Kate could hum or sing in Portugese and I'd still "get it." Kate, you are a treasure. Thank you, lass.
Got tickets today to see Kate, in Cumbria, in December. A sort of Crimbo tour. Can't wait. Best female voice in Britain today. Not withstanding a barmaid saying 'what's yours'
Over the years, I have found most of the great (good night out) folk artists, do good, in between songs, 'crack'. The best I ever saw? a toss up between Vin Garbutt & Tony Capstick.
just watched the other day the movie heartlands, a pretty good movie, I must say. I got hooked on the songs used and checked out the internet to find out who the singer was. I've become an instant fan....anyone knows where I may catch her gigs?
been a fan ever since J&J tv show and fell in love with theme. In my eyes can do nothing wrong with music. Going to see concert locally in November and I can't wait
I wish I could sing to my sleeping child as sweetly as this.
