Previously Appearing at Wickham was...
Kate Rusby
Forever proud to call herself a folk singer, Kate’s beautiful, expressive vocals never fail to connect the emotional heart of a song to that of her audience. The crossover appeal Kate enjoys is unprecedented for a folk singer and has been achieved without resort to compromise. We’ll be welcoming Kate on Friday 3rd August 2018.
As early as 1999, aged just 26, Kate was named as one of the Top Ten Folk Voices of the Century. Everything she has done since has confirmed the foresight of those who bestowed that honour. From being a nominee for 1999’s Mercury prize – almost unheard of for a folk singer both then and now – for her stunningly assured second solo album, Sleepless, to 2016’s enthralling Life In A Paper Boat, Kate has stayed true to her folk and acoustic roots.

Soooo...no one will race me so I'm having my own PanKATE race 🏃♀️... Happy Pancake Day everyone! We love a bit o' snow on our pancakes up North! 😃🌨🍽
Snow *in* pancakes is even better! It's one of those weird English traditional things that's been almost completely forgotten (because how often does it snow on Pancake day?): you just add a spoonful to the batter and it melts when it hits the heat, leaving your pancakes light and lacy.
Love this! Your energy is sooooo funnnn!
You won!👏
Was Damien doing this while you were flipping? Love your sense of fun Kate, you always cheer me up x
Get the bells in the church behind you ringing. According to the Bellringers FB Group pancake day bells are rung at Ripon Cathedral to start the races. Also rung at Bingley, Penistone and many others. Chiming Pancake bells? 🔔🔔🔔
You’ve got to love PanKate Day. You go to any country and have pancakes any day but in GB we have one day toss ‘em, race ‘em and stuff our faces with as many as we can 😂😂
Wowza,!!!! fantastic how long have you been practicing this trick then ?
Snow you can keep... PanKate looks yummy did you eat it 🤣
It's posts like this that I follow (and love) you for! Thank you!
Great flipping talent! 🥞 x
How big is that frying pan??
You are truly one of a kind, Happy Pancake Day ⛷️🌨️🌨️

Classic Kate Rusby must consider the effects snow and sleet can have on flippin the flattened Yorkie ! Sterling effort lass xx
Well done Kate happy pancake Day to you and your family good to have fun a break from your beautiful singing and music.
Hi Kate just been singing our song and I find this. So I'm just off to share with the children while they eat pancakes. X
I do love a good toss but my pan is way too heavy. Nivver mind, I'll still enjoy my pancakes later on 😋
Happy Pankate Day! I like your flippin' style. Send us a bit of that snow down to Norfolk! ❄xx

What a lovely picture. Come to Jersey, we only have red squirrels here and see them a lot. What a privilege

I'll be visiting Northumberland in June with my Mum. Hope you're not too wet, Kate.
My Yorkshire lot went to that London to see Hamilton and our Eva and Clara smiled and everything!!! Not bad for teenagers. ❤️ from Edinburgh 🏴🇪🇺🥳
Love Northumberland, lovely family , great photo. Xxx

Great to see the Rusby Family had a good time. Did you have family singsongs?
Thank you. We all enjoy listening to you sing.
You are having such a great life!
Going up there in a few weeks for my Birthday x
Hello Rusbys... Have a great holiday! 🍻 Love to you all from Ken & Pat xxx
Great family picture. Half term has been good.
Summer plans!! ☀️🎪😎
...Summer ?! I've just walked to Aldi for some pancakes and catfood in a howling freezing gale ...'Let The Cold Wind Blow' ...?...and to make it even worse , it tasted 'orrible - er, not the catfood , the pancake.
...is there anything earlier , and somewhere warmer ? Why not charter a plane to Benidorm for a gig there , 'Kate's Cosy Costa Ceilidh' , and the plane ticket would include the airfare ...and a few pints ! This 7 month long winter is awful...!
In Thame, so not so far. I will have to put this in the diary. nb. When, exactly, was it that Hackney had a colliery?
Love this festival. Remember seeing Kate and Kathryn Roberts here as teenagers, and it was the standout performance of the weekend.
At Underneath the Stars! 163 days to go 😀😍🎶🎶🎶🎶
Note that the festival is moving quite a long way from Towersey/Thame - unfortunately in the wrong direction for me so I doubt I'll go.
Hello Kate. I came across this story of Mary Bateman and the fortune telling chicken of Yorkshire. Do you have a song about this? It has all the elements of a great Rusby original. Cheers from nick and jen. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Bateman
Looking forward to seeing you on Darlington in may!!
Could not find Pennsylvania on tour visits!
Fabulous xx
When are you next in London ?
Where is it ??
