NOW THIS IS WHAT WE NEED!


HAPPY CHRISTMAS DAY!

KATE RUSBY


LIVE AT LEEDS 
2019




From December 13th live at Victoria Hall (Town Hall) Leeds comes this from the peerless Kate Rusby performing festive Yorkshire songs and carols in a concert from Victoria Hall in Leeds, introduced by Kathryn Tickell. 

For two hundred years, Yorkshire has had its very own Christmas carol tradition, centred on village pubs, and with its own versions of well-known carols, some of which were frowned upon by the church in Victorian times as ‘too happy’. Kate Rusby grew up in this tradition, and has been sharing it for the past fifteen years with audiences across the UK in her annual Christmas tours.



Order Kate's wonderful lastest seasonal offering her album 'Holly Head'  full of seasonal songs
