Kate Rusby performs 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.

For this concert she is joined by her husband Damien O’Kane on guitar, Steven Byrnes on bouzouki, Nick Cooke playing diatonic accordion, and Duncan Lyall on double bass, together with the Brass Boys quintet.
