I'd heard KR was employing a full-time publicist. But isn't spreading it across 4 Mudcat threads going just a teensy bit too far?

Sometime today, somebody posted messages about the Kate Rusby television performance on 20 February, more-or-less the same message on each of several threads. After that, two threads were started to complain about the multiple Rusby threads. I moved all the television notices into one thread, and all the complaints into this one.
I'm sure that Kate appreciates all the enthusiasm, but in general, we allow only one thread per subject to be running at a time.
Thanks.

But ain't it great to see all this radio and TV exposure, and of course Mudcat Threads, for a genuinely nice, talented and modest lass. Makes a nice change from listening to pillocks like Gareth Effing Gates/Robbie Head-Up-His-Own-Rectum Williams/Christina Words-Fail-Me Aguilera/Beyonce (what kinda stoopid made-up name's that?) Knowles et al. IMHO. :0)

Exactly John there's a whole lot more talent out there that isn't being recognised. Nothing against her, but some of the pluggers are beginning to irritate!

Subject: RE: Kate Rusby Overkill

Date: 17 Feb 04 - 10:59 AM

Was June Tabor on then? I wish somebody had said...
I heard the Witches of Elswick on there by chance a few weeks ago. In fact, Woman's Hour on BBC R4 is by far the best place to hear English traditional music. A whole lot more likely than on the MH show anyway...

From: GUEST,Strollin' Johnny
Date: 17 Feb 04 - 11:47 AM

Well, if Kate's the Princess of Folk, June must be the Queen! What a voice, and still doing the rounds of live concerts - magnificent! But when she were a lass, she got similar attention to what Kate's getting now didn't she? Lots of media attention. Just proves there's nowt wrong wi' a bit of popularity?

Subject: RE: Kate Rusby Overkill

I had wondered what all the fuss was about, since I hadn't heard Kate Rusby and knew nothing about her. I picked up a couple of her CD's last week, and I really loved them. She has a beautiful voice, and she interprets the songs wonderfully.

How old is she, anyhow?

I would also recommend the cd 'Kate Rusby & Kathryn Roberts' by Kate Rusby and Kathryn Roberts

Well worth a listen

Subject: RE: Kate Rusby Overkill

Date: 17 Feb 04 - 01:03 PM

Strollin' Johnny,

No, quite the opposite, if I recall. When exactly are you talking about? From the mid 60s after uni to the mid 70s, June Tabor had a full-time job as a librarian. Then she made her debut solo recording Airs and Graces and then Silly Sisters with Maddy Prior in 1976. Till then, certainly, she'd had a cult following among those in the know but she did only occasional club bookings.

After that she ran a restaurant in the Lake District. I'd say she's always been grossly underrated simply because she chose not to devote herself to a full-time musical career and the attendant constant touring. I'm so glad she's at last getting some of the recognition she deserves.

I wasn't aware that Kate Rusby rarely came to the US. A few years ago, I wrote some concert notes and was MC (note: not Martin Carthy or MC Hammer, but Master of Ceremonies) at one of her US gigs. I just assumed she toured here with the same frequency as MC (note: Martin Carthy this time).

Just goes to show I'm too busy to pay much attention these days. (But not too busy to f*ck around making MC jokes!)

Guest, Rain Dog....don't you think that's an awfully original title for a CD "Kate Rusby and Kathryn Richards"....what was the deep significance in that title? ..apart from the fact it was made by Kate Rusby and Kathryn Richards...Is this a contender for original title of the year?

Subject: RE: Kate Rusby Overkill
From: The Borchester Echo
Date: 18 Feb 04 - 01:54 PM

It would be truly original if Kate Rusby had made a CD with Kathryn Richards. Don't think she knows anyone of this name. I don't, anyway. However, can I recommend one she *did* make with Kathryn Roberts?

Oh...Raindog already did...
