Barnsley Nightingale Kate Rusby performs at Blackpool’s Grand Theatre

Renowned music artist Kate Rusby gets festive with Christmas Kate at Blackpool’s Grand Theatre on Monday 7 December

Kate Rusby is one of the most famous faces on the folk scene and has become one of Britain’s foremost music artists, whether performing songs from the country’s rich music tradition or her own intuitive self-penned material.

Sometimes known as The Barnsley Nightingale, Kate is one of the few folk singers to have been nominated for the Mercury Music Prize.

This unmissable evening will take you from Rusby classics and old favourites to a showcase of South Yorkshire village carols, complete with brass quintet, in a rousing Christmas celebration. Come along to hear wonderful new variations of familiar carols mostly unheard outside her area.

South Yorkshire has a very strong tradition of carol singing starting early November. Sunday lunchtimes sees hundreds of carol singers cram into various pubs in the locality to join in the unashamedly joyous singing with standing room only! At its heart, it represents an oral tradition, constantly evolving, passed down from generation to generation, with roots dating back over 200 years.

Kate Rusby – Christmas Kate is at Blackpool’s Grand Theatre on Monday 7 December at 7.30pm. Don’t miss it!

Tickets are £18. 

Concessions £2 off.
