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!)
