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.
Day: Friday
Stage: Main Stage 1 - The Valley Stage
Time Slot: 20.00 - 21.15

We can’t wait to see you in Sark!!
Wow!! I went on honeymoon to Sark!! Garry Rumble 😍😍
Goldie Locks !!!!!!!!
Well at least you can stock up on the duty free 👍
I am mega excited, I hope you love Sark and have a truly memorable time. X
I played that festival with Random a few years ago - a very interesting experience, especially the boat ride to the island and that's after you've managed to get to Guernsey which can be fun too. Super festival ... enjoy.
Yaaaaaaay. ... that news made our weekend. You'll love it ' Underneath the Stars' . Can't wait. 😃🎶👍
Would be great to see you back in Denmark one day… with better notice next time.
Love you to come back to the grand at Blackpool x
...and then a quick jaunt over to the ‘States?
... and Canada ... especially Alberta! (Canmore)
Fabulous xx
Been to Sark - remarkable place. Enjoy the festival 🤩
Get some amazing Sark butter while you are there!
I know it's early, but could you plan on playing somewhere in the Leeds, Harrogate, York area during the first week of November 2019? We'll be back in England then, and would love to see you again. We saw you at Celtic Colours last month - wonderful two evenings!
That sounds lovely xx
Happy Bonfire Night everyone! Here's a special episode of Kate Kooks featuring that bonfire night speciality: Yorkshire Parkin! Yum! 🔥💥💫
Have some Yorkshire Tea with that!
just watching...mums top tip stick spoon in boiling water first ..syrup will fall off (butter over spoon works too ) sorry for interruption. .please carry on 😊😊
just as well your so good at singing and songwriting Kate Rusby, as i think your tv cook days may be numbered..., but i really want yorkshire parkin now.
So shall we be seeing u on GBBO next year then? I do so love all ur wee videos that u put on always make me laugh 😂
PLEEAASSEEE....send me a slice xx
The music is too loud! I can barely hear you Kate.
Wow, I’m glad you can sing Kate!
Christina Ward Bennett!! :-)
Somebody has done some research [I have no idea who paid for this] but they monitored the heart rate of domestic animals during fireworks and played music to the dogs and cats. Reggae is the answer! Put some Bob Marley on it will calm your dog or cat :)
That reminds me - my daughter was thrilled to find you on the wall at the British Music Experience a couple of weeks ago :)
You are hilarious!
What....no treacle?
Made Parkin yesterday (slightly different recipe), a salute to my Yorkshire roots! Happy Bonfire Night from Nova Scotia....loved the video
Brilliant 😂! We love your cooking videos 🍲. Happy birthday to your dad 🎂 xxx
the music is so annoying over this, great cause though.. well done kate
Amy Clair Sunderland! Did you ever find your recipe?! Xx
Here's mine inspired by this video...gluten free and with treacle instead of golden syrup....yum yum. (and I put the baking powder in earlier!).

I'll be making this soon - thanks for the great recipe and video.
It's even better if you let it are for a couple of weeks (as if?!!).
Age!!
Tom Robson Toni Dore
