The Irish and the Scots aren't the only ones who do folk music. There's traditional English folk as well - the difference is that the Irish and the Scots kept their tradition going and we lost ours. Thanks to people such as Kate, Eliza Carthy - to name a few - folk music in England is being revived.

I love you Kate Rusby

A very beautiful voice and if she was prepared to sing shit songs like Celine Dion and Mariha Carery she would be an international superstar her voice is premier league. She's better than both of them and she's in a different class to Adele and all these new girl singers

Haha Andrew- I realised after I signed out I had left them out - and too many more to mention. Pentangle are tops!

@lindajanegibson Pentangle...(just thought id add my fav to your already impressive list)

[lindajanegibson]

Sandy Denny, Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span, Martin Carthy, Maddy Prior , Dave Swarbrick, June Tabor, Nic Jones, etc etc... no, English folk has been alive and well for years - you just haven't been listening - glad you have discovered it. These are the young 'uns ...:)

@homeschoolveggie Me too! Everyone I force to listen to her is blown away and rightly so,

[homeschoolveggie]

I love her music so much. More people should listen to music like this. I'm slowly trying to make all of my friends listen to her at least once.

sh"te me missus rusby, ave ye any more of those?

This is on the DVD 'Live at Leeds' , also.

Most of these traditional songs she does are very much "renovated" at her hands before she presents them. Alot of them are only sketches of what they were and need to be fleshed out. What a loving touch she brings to them! You're awsome Kate!

They are all interlinked. All Traditional Styles fed off and into each other. Scots has Swedish Icelandic and Norwegian Influences. Appalachian has African, Irish Scots Welsh all intermixed. Its one massive melting pot. What matters is the beauty of the Music and Words not the Nationality of the Style.
