Kate Rusby 'Village Green Preservation Society' Tribute...
Kate is 33. And as she releases her latest solo album, Awkward Annie, young musicians up and down the country are looking at her as just the kind of role model she has always seen in Nic Jones and Dave Burland.

Kate Rusby has come of age in another sense, too. For the first time, she has produced the album herself, though brother Joe's technical wizardry earned a slice of the credit, too.

As ever, Kate is nervous and uncertain about her own mighty achievements. But the result is another outstanding CD that bears renewed witness to that infallible eye for the great storyline and a strongly developing songwriting talent of her own.

To each of her songs, she brings the quality of constancy. Some have only just been written, but sound as if they might have been handed down through generation after generation for a couple of centuries or more.

Born on Dec 4, 1973 in Jessops Hospital, Sheffield, Kate grew up in her beloved South Yorkshire and toyed with acting, or some more technical kind of career in drama, before embarking on her well-documented rise to the nearest folk gets to superstar status.

Music became embedded in her soul as she and her siblings, Joe and Emma, were carted around the folk festivals where mum and dad, Steve and Ann, would be playing in their ceilidh band or dad would be looking after sound systems

The three young Rusbys would use their voices to while away long car journeys. 'Mum and dad would sing songs and us kids would sing along, making up harmonies before we even knew what the word meant. There's just something lovely about voices singing together, even more so when it's family, and I'm so chuffed that Joe is singing on this record. Siblings have the same vibrato so the sound they make together is almost inseparable.'

Fabulous and evocative! It inspires in me a strange mix of euphoria and sadness at losing a country I loved.... I think our England is fading away.

I'm Welsh also, but the song is essentially British. And the video tugged hard at my heart. Well done.

[gerdenshed]

I couldn't agree more my friend, thank you ;-)

Multicultural societies dont work, which I believe is what's happened. This is NOT a racist comment, as our country states that no views or religion have precidence, everyone loses. All racial and social groups lose their voices, and no one is happy with that. Its could be that a crucifix worn by a stewardess is deemed "offensive" or an asian schoolgirl being told she can't wear her religious bracelet. We all lose our sense of National identity and pride. No more England..just a failing UK

@Irenfyr I just googled Fubar....why if we all feel the same have we let England come to the sorry state it's in?? I do think it's Fubar when I see around me everyday how it's changed and not for the best....

[TheSami1973]

@Topographer There are plenty of us that are trying to save our Country thank goodness. :o)
