All I can say is thank the stars for Brian Cox, If I hadn't watched his 'Wonders of the Universe' Series, I'd have missed this. I used to be involved in the Scottish Folk scene for some years in the 90's, if I'd known, if I'd only known....
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))))
Kate has been singing for over 20 years, I heard her first on backing track on a tv program about the Yorkshire Dales a few years ago, I now have 7 albums, 3 more to get, going to my 3rd gig in Halifax with my daughters, how cool is that.
There's nothing wrong with a varied and eclectic taste in music. Music does not define you. You will be known for your love and compassion. ... rock on!
***** No I don't do facebook,never got round to it,the missus does,,,yeah good song that,to be honest there aint many I dislike,,tell ya who im raving about at the minute,blackberry smoke,,try ,help you find the door,or,shakin hands with the holy ghost,,enjoy,bye.
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.
Beautiful video of a beautiful lass with a beautiful voice. I went to see her a month ago and she was just incredible. Funny in between songs too. So down to earth. I wish her all the luck in the world, but I doubt she needs it. Thanks Kate.
Well I was brought here by Brian Cox. Incredible singer, brings a peacefulness to folk that people, like fleet foxes and all that, actually miss in my opinion. 5th time hearing and I'm addicted already :D
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. We can be really proud of her!
I am in awe at the beauty of her voice, the music and the lyrics. Thank you, Brian Cox, for your gorgeous perspective and eloquent words of wisdom. Our lives are so fleeting, so beautifully unimportant, that our understanding of the Universe should be mankind's driving force forward that help unite us all in peace and wonder for all time to come.
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. :)
driving home at 8 oclock last night so knackered and put radio 2 on !!!!! kate playing live..the best car journey ive ever had ,never heard of her before that "what a find" could cost me some money on albums though??
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.
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!
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'
I just love this song, beautifully sung really moves me never get tired of a lot of her stuff. First heard her on Bob Harris show, went to live concert on the strength of just one song. Could not believe how good she was, hooked since then, Bob has introduced me to a lot of good people. Interesting to see how many people from different music tastes appreciate her
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
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.
@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
@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!!
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?
