Kate Rusby - Live at Llanthony
Gloucester Guildhall proudly presents Mercury Prize nominated folk singer, Kate Rusby.
Forever proud to call herself a folk singer, Kate Rusby’s vocals never fail to connect the heart of a song to that of her audience.
Come on down for festival vibes, incredible music, great beer and food, all in an unforgettable setting. The event has an intimate festival feel, promising powerful performances in one of Gloucester’s finest historic sites.
Guildhall Presents is a series of headline gigs from major artists, brought to amazing alternative venues across Gloucester by Gloucester Guildhall. Supported by Arts Council England.
As early as 1999, aged just 26, Kate was named as one of the Top Ten Folk Voices of the Century. Everything she has done since has confirmed that honour. From being a 1999 Mercury Prize Winner – almost unheard of for a folk singer both then and now – to her latest albums ‘Light Years’, ’30 Happy Returns’ and ‘Hand Me Done’ Kate has stayed true to her folk and acoustic roots.
Named as one of the Top Ten Folk Voices of the Century, a Mercury Prize Winner, 6-times BBC Radio 2 Folk Award Winner and a warm, Yorkshire sense of humour to boot, Rusby has achieved an unprecedented cross-over appeal. Despite stepping into a more contemporary production on her last few albums, she has stayed true to her roots. Her cover of Manic Monday (Hand Me Down 2020) featured on the BBC Radio 2 playlist. The guests on 2022 album 30 : Happy Returns is testament to Rusby’s wide appeal and include the likes of Ladysmith Black Mambazo, KT Tunstall, and Beth Nielson Chapman.
