Kate Rusby singing I Courted a Sailor from her album Live at Leeds I claim no rights to this clip. Just that it's a lovely song and was missing from the set of other songs from the same event previously uploaded. Buy the DVD :-)
Kate is an icon of Modern British folk - Such a sweet voice but an endearing personality. She is always accompanied by excellent musicians (including hubby and producer John McCusker) which means that you can be sure to have a wonderful evening of folk of the highest quality. ❤❤
The musicians are her then husband John McCusker on bouzouki and whistle, Michael McGoldrick whistle, Andy Cutting melodian, Ian Carr guitar. The bass players name I can’t remember.
Why does this proud and talented Yorkshire lass not have an MBE at least? Services to folk music and the sanity of those of us who refused to be scared out of our wits in a recent pandemic. Her output of tuneful gems made every evening not at a gig, or the pub, worth living.
What a fine singer and wonderful guitarist. Come to think of it the rest of the band is great, too. I don't think it's traditional but it's a nice little story.
Sick. That's an 11. Kate came to Canada once, and I drove hours north from Syracuse, NY to see her. Was blown away, in spite of the fact that she said she had a touch of laryngitis. I wish/hope she comes back to North America one day.
I got to see her at the Oregon Zoo in the late 1990s; she and Natalie MacMaster played (separately) an open-air concert on a summer evening, with the far off sounds of the animals piping up every so often. It was lovely.
I don't know how you stand so still, your music just makes my legs want to jigg, Guess you wouldn't be able to sing many songs if you danced around 🤣😂🤣😂
Superb multicultural folk music collaboration. Accompanying the wonderful Kate Rusby's plaintive singing, this is an amazing blend of English/ Irish and Scottish folk musicality. Can anyone name the musicians for me? I am only familiar with a couple.
@@Justsayinyall Are you replying to my comment? Mine was a compliment saying how beautiful the song was and about times gone by... not quite sure why you think it's judgemental? Perhaps you misunderstood my meaning. Anyway, you got it totally wrong, I love the song and am far from hateful x
British and in particular English folk music is not celebrated enough. apart from Folk on Two on the BBC and the Robert Elms show on Radio London it barely get a play on national radio which is a disgrace considering the huge amount of talent out there.
