Kate Rusby: Folk Singing

-
Kate Anna Rusby is an English folk singer-songwriter from Penistone, Barnsley (South Yorkshire). Rusby was born into a family of musicians and after learning to play the guitar, the fiddle and the piano (as well as to sing) she played in many local folk festivals as a child and adolescent, before joining (and becoming the lead vocalist of) the all-female Celtic folk band 'The Poozies'. Known as the "Barnsley Nightingale", she has headlined various British national folk festivals, and is one of the best known contemporary English folk singers.

1995 saw the release of her breakthrough album, Kate Rusby & Kathryn Roberts, a collaboration with her friend and fellow Barnsley folk singer Kathryn Roberts. 
Listen to Hunting the Hare from that album - the tune is the traditional Welsh Hela'r Ysgyfarnog and the English words are from A.P. Graves' The Celtic Song Book (1928):

In 1997, with the help of her family, Rusby recorded and released her first solo album, Hourglass. On that album, the track 'Drowned Lovers' (also known as 'Clyde's Water') is one of the Child Ballads: some 305 traditional ballads from England and Scotland, and their American variants, anthologised by Francis James Child during the second half of the 19th century. The tunes of most of the ballads were collected and published by Bertrand Harris Bronson in and around the 1960s.
