It is almost with embarrassment that I, a transported North Yorkshire lad, avid folk music fan for 50 years, emigrant to Canada and now in Vermont, USA for the past 35 years, admits to not knowing of Kate Rusby until the past year when , in a bunch of cd's I acquired from a local couple, in there was one of Kate's first albums. Captivated, I am now on a quest to acquire as many of Kate's albums as possible.. Many thanks for posting this wonderful video.

She is diamond in the coal mine that is today's music scene. A brilliant original.

Kate is perfect. Her music is mostly unknown in The Unites States (where I live). It's a shame... but I also love introducing people to her. They're always blown away.

🐝 I am so grateful that Kate includes the Colliery Brass Band in so much of her music. I have no connection to mining, but played in bands and appreciate the skill, artistry, and camaraderie of these groups. The way they support and intertwine with her beautiful voice is very uplifting.

We are the kate rusby preservation society, God made silky tones, acoustics and melody. We are the kate rusby superfan conglomerate, Always here listening to all her different varieties.

Just learned of Kate's existence 4 months ago and am now a huge fan!!!!

Just discovered Kate a month ago. Now I'm buying all her albums at once. What a lovely songbird she is. Oh my gosh, what a sweetie she is in her interview in the hotel. I love her laugh.

Exquisite voice and talent, incredibly humble and witty, a magical beautiful talent.

I have loved Kate for years! Such a beautiful voice and I love her choice of traditional old folk song. Thankyou for posting. Now if only she'd travel to Australia.

i'm a taxi driver, and i have to say your christmas albums saved my days !!! i downlowded all your stuff !!! and i'm a big fan of your's!!!

This was a wonderful video about Kate and her family. I was fortunate to find her music through listening to The Thistle and the Shamrock on public radio here in the states. I've loved her music ever since. She is amazing.

A few years ago I used to play her song, The big ship sails, at a playgroup in Edinburgh, on my mobile phone. All the kids loved it, and I used to have to play it several times to assuage their thirst for her lovely voice. I often wonder how many of those wee kids still remember her singing. Whoever made the original video, included still shots of old sailing ships, knew a thing or two about music and images. The weird thing is someone told me she was from Nottingham and I believed them LOL

How could any think this doc deserves a thumbs down. It feels like you are sitting in her kitchen listening to her story. It is comfort to the soul.

I cannot listen to "My Young Man" without crying. Of all her songs this one touches me most of all.

I've come across Kate again after many years , I first discovered her on BBC radio 2 folk awards back in 2000 her voice was very special then but it's got so much better !! So pleased to hear this beautiful voice again .

So proud of the lass being from the tarn ... Blissful blessed beauty

I discovered Kates music just a couple weeks ago and I’m so pissed that she’s not this well-known in the United States. She’s fantastic!

Met Kate in Holmfirth 20 years ago. A wonderful gift to the world.

Just started watching this documentary, and I had to comment ... her mother is a really excellent singer as well.

" I sound like a witch when I sing"........seriously Kate? You're the best sounding "witch" I've ever heard! 🙂

A gem of a human being. If only the rest of humanity was like this it would be a wonderful world.

My musical friends are I play I courted a sailor and the elfin knight and absolutely love these tunes. Maybe in ten years I’ll get tired of them but never when Kate is singing. Such an exquisite talent with endearing humility is rare

She’s a credit to her family, Yorkshire and England. 👏👏👏👏❤️❤️

Huge talent, as both a singer and a song writer. She comes across as a really genuine woman still faithful to her roots, oh and I should mention astonishingly beautiful👍

Her Christmas music melts me. Candlemass Eve and Poor Old Horse. My very favorite of songs on my 8hr xmas playlist.

This young lass is only recently blessing the speakers of my truck.im a geordie and find alot in common with Barnsley folk.like us geordies they are a breed of their own. Here's to many more miles.thank you.x

How wonderful! Your musical choices, your voice, and the mood you set, are all deeply moving!

Thanks a million bunch whoever made this documentary!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Stunning artist! Voice so pure, just like a gentle brook flowing down a mountain side.

I love how she complains about the song "I Courted a Sailor," and the documentary promptly starts playing it.

Wonderful doco, I have loved Kate's music for many years. Now I learn about her amazing family too.

l adore Kate Rusby great and moving singer.

Just found out she's playing Glasgow Royal Concert Hall at the end of the month, but I can't make it cuz I'm picking up a stray dog from Spain. Gutted. Maybe I'll name the dog in her honour. 👍 I like her even more now after watching this documentary. Thanks for sharing.

I previously noticed how well she's produced and how great her albums sound. Now I see why.

Just got tickets to see you Kate in BRISTOL, it's been so long since i have seen you and I can't wait..... can you still sing ?? 🤣😂

A beautiful film. It just confirms why I love Kate and her music so much. Would have liked a mention of then husband, musical collaborator and producer, John McCusker, though we did see him once or twice. Maybe this was when their marriage was breaking up. Makes some of the songs even sadder. Oh the power of good music!

Great music,well made documentary. Very talented woman.

Nice voice.Another amazing artist like Sarah harmer,kathleen edwards,Dallas Green.

Thank you for posting this. It was beautiful and informative.

Love this lady beautiful singer and soul

I saw Kate on Sunday at the Cambridge Folk Festival and fell in love all over again. Made me want to start drinking Yorkshire Tea.

First heard about kate through jam and Jerusalem, where they use village green as the theme :) absolutely love her voice, very enjoyable to sing along to aswell ^-^ so happy there is a doco about her!

Thank you for this. Heard the name but not the voice until last night when I heard Hunter's Moon on 6Music. Just gone on a listen spree and now watching this.

Beguiling and magical performer.

Love Kate’s music. Her family’s mining history mirrors my own. Music straight to the heart. Beautiful in every way. Thank you.

Posted on my birthday, Kate my favourite singer!

Kate, I used to sing polly to my daughter at bed time, revisited and tried singing, how do you sing half of those without welling up,have not managed one without cracking 😱

Absolutely delightful singer !!!

She and Karine Polwart; both incredibly talented.

What a beautiful person she is, voice of an angel, beautiful looking , WOW

The album Kate is working on here was the first Kate Rusby album I bought.

Kate's mother can sing too! :O

What a great story. Certainly puts Barnsley on the map. Mum has a nice voice too.......... duet coming up on future album?? Belonging to a mining male voice choir, her story is quite poignant.

'Ahm kackin' mi pants, is how I am'. Ah Ah! How Yorkshire, how kate!

She's great...saw her at Cambridge. Must try and get to see her again.

What stunningly beautiful humble lady you are ❤️. 💚💚☘️

I love the warble in her divine voice. With her, and Sinead O’Connor, I’d have most of what I need in music. 😊

Thanks for posting . :)

Beautiful stuff.

Wow! Where have I've been?

Sweet Thames flow softly...same tune different lyrics

Maybe it's time for the next chapter? Looking forward to it!!

She has an Angelic voice!

kate Rusby has got a sensational voice

Why have I only just discovered Kate Rusby?.....

Reason to believe in singing angels.

I've been a fan of Kate for many years, and this made me nostalgic for when I lived in South Yorkshire. There is a sad aspect to this film though - although it isn't mentioned for obvious reasons, at the time she had just split up with her husband John McCusker, though he was still touring with her (the one playing fiddle). I think some of the songs on the album are about the break-up, so must have been a very uncomfortable situation for both of them.

God I love her.

If all Joe and his Magic Tools had to do was make Kate's voice "sound nice" he's have the easiest job in the world!

...only just discovered Kate myself! Lovely stuff - does anyone know what tuning she uses?

Actually you can cut out the big lables who as an artist you would be mad to sign for. Ask Taylor swift or George Michael. The notion that independence is not an option has been pedaled for years. It's a case of getting the right advice at the right time. Compass records is an independent lable started by Allison Brown over 20 years ago (a talented accountant and banjo player) And has a stock of clients including Andrea Zonn (fiddle player and singer with James Taylor no less) The dreaded 24/7 contracts which are financial "Venus fly traps" are defacto "asset striping" devices that exist to shut down competition and shelve artists that can compete against their own portfolios. It's never been easier to go it alone with the right advice and representation. Obviously Kate and her family are fully aware of the independent route behind the wisest. I wish them the greatest of success.

Lush - I'm addicted

I am going to the collage that she went to in September

I don't think I'm too far off the mark by claiming she's the Geordie Eva Cassidy - I love them both!!

She's gorgeous.

she is even more ace than a box of best Gir Kesar Mango

She’s a mixture of Sandy Denny and Melanie .

A lot of wires...

how lovely is that

What numpty down-votes a Kate Rusby documentary?!

Ms Roberts watch yer back, ya ma's on your tail.

I saw her in Leeds in the 90s. Made a career from being sweet

Why doesn't she sing like she talks?

For sure she's a pretty lass, in today's cooperate music industry that's numero uno important. Her singing voice flat, weak, soulless. Choice of materials absolutely dull. Back up band unimpressive uninspiring 🦨🤮🚽 !!! to billie holiday, sandy denny, arundhati roy 🍄🌄🌈🐞🦄🦚🇺🇲🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇳🌬👏🌻🦋🕉🙏✌🏾...........🤓
