Thread Name: Tuning for Kate Rusby songs
Subject: RE: Tuning for Kate Rusby songs
Just back from a short shopping trip and managed to pick up the the album with Kathryn Roberts (Thanks GeorgeH for the tip!) and it is well worth a listen.

Moonchild, one thing I can tell you about Kate Rusby is that she could definately have cut it as a comedienne if the music hadn't caught on - her chat in between songs is really funny. A lot of it might be to do with her strong Barnsley accent(?) I hope the marketing folks don't start messing about with it for the US market - I always remember the story of how the airbrushed in Shane McGowan's (The Pogues) teeth for his US promo photos. Oh..and she has a fan on stage because "me ears go hot and red when I play me own songs" in Barnsley accent....honest!
