Kate Rusby Concert

Click to hear "Wild Mountain Thyme"
Sung by Kate and the band as their last song.

We had a great time at the Tyne Theatre in the west-end of Newcastle last night, listening to the folk-based vocal stylings of one Kate Rusby.

Due to my mistake, Liz and myself went first to the Theatre Royal, before realising that Jac and Meg were not there, and so we were almost certainly at the wrong venue. A short walk and an even shorter car ride later, we arrived at the right place.

Kate performed simply, honestly and to a very high standard. Her co-musicians were all gifted stars in their won right, and the concert was thoroughly enjoyable all the way through.

I like her gentle girl-ish banter and her total lack of airs and graces. She is a Barnsley lass, and proud of it - accentuating the accent in her singing, if anything.

All in all, it was a performance good enough to convince a non-folk fan to buy her music and for the already converted it was delicious meat and drink. They didn't let us take photographs of her on stage, though. So, all I can offer you is a photo of the stage itself.

Best I can do.

How are you. I will put some into my telephone. So far I am listening to "I Will Touch The Sky". Help me! There is an urgent need for sites: drug rehabilitation programs. I found only this - alcohol addiction treatment center. Drug and alcohol treatment at the assisted recovery center of georgia helps alcohol treatment. Clinics offer alcohol detox and alcohol rehab centers. Thanks for the help ;-), Cicely from Qatar.
