I fell under Kate’s spell many years ago now and have literally lost count of the number of times we have been to see her. We avidly book her local appearances as well as being regular weekend residents at her annual Folk Festival, Underneath the Stars at Cawthorne near Barnsley.
Known as the ‘Barnsley Nightingale’, Kate is for us the quintessential, leading light of English Folk music. Her voice has that Northern lilt and this song became a foundation of the festivals, also title tune of this album of yet more spellbinding trad and self-penned tunes. I will certainly be returning to Kate at a later date.
