Rusby

I went to see the wonderful Kate Rusby last night at the Wyvern Theatre. Kate was brought to my attention on the Jools Holland Hootenanny this year, and when I found out that she would be touring down to Swindon, I was first to put my name down for a ticket.

Believe me, I was not disappointed. Folk music isn't everyone's cup of tea, so if you don't like slow tunes with a couple of guitars, a double bass and an accordian, this may not be your thing, but I really enjoyed it. With the fantastic John McCusker's music, playing a variety of instruments, and Kate's truly moving voice, this show was worth the whole £18.

Even more entertaining was Kate's sense of humour. A Barnsley lass by heart, her quick sense of humour and quick wit kept us entertained between songs. Sheer talent.
