Kate Rusby I Courted A Sailor

Kate Rusby singing I Courted a Sailor from her album Live at Leeds
I claim no rights to this clip. Just that it's a lovely song and was missing from the set of other songs from the same event previously uploaded. Buy the DVD :-)

Kate Rusby, has such a sweet soul. Her smile toward the end is so heart felt, warm and simple. She's must be the most cheerful melancholic I know.

[@daviddishman7491]

Kate is an icon of Modern British folk - Such a sweet voice but an endearing personality. She is always accompanied by excellent musicians (including hubby and producer John McCusker) which means that you can be sure to have a wonderful evening of folk of the highest quality. ❤❤

[@negy2570]

She's so beautiful with an amazing voice! Folk music bring out the best of singers.

[@drummerboy1390]

The musicians are her then husband John McCusker on bouzouki and whistle, Michael McGoldrick whistle, Andy Cutting melodian, Ian Carr guitar. The bass players name I can’t remember.

[@BlackVelvetIL]

The bass player is Ewan Vernal

[@Nachtuil36]

I remember going out with Kate,John and Kate's father after their concert. Having many trappist beers. Time has past ...

[@williamnorton7697]

Why does this proud and talented Yorkshire lass not have an MBE at least? Services to folk music and the sanity of those of us who refused to be scared out of our wits in a recent pandemic. Her output of tuneful gems made every evening not at a gig, or the pub, worth living.

Beautiful song and vocals kate love the irish celtic flute

[@dylantrollope3740]

Absolutely beautiful! No other words for it.

[@ronmaynard5962]

Sung with feeling….feel right in the room…where else would you rather be ? I’m there.A voice with immense feeling…

[@cat_glove]

Her music is just a heart breaker, every time. xx

[@simonday8103]

Excellent song precious voice. Had the pleasure of seeing you at Sheffield civic hall

[@svendo123]

Brilliant, the voice of an Angel 😎

[@julistarling8382]

One of my many favorites and one of my top half dozen or so of Kate Rusby favorites. ❤💙💜💖 Thank you for posting. ^___^

[@williamschu610]

Sick. That's an 11. Kate came to Canada once, and I drove hours north from Syracuse, NY to see her. Was blown away, in spite of the fact that she said she had a touch of laryngitis. I wish/hope she comes back to North America one day.

[@czarkhasm]

She likely won't. She hates... HATES... to fly. It might have been that tour which she experienced serious weather during one of her flights.

[@BodhranBrian]

@@czarkhasm Anybody,absolutely anybody with half a brain hates to fly!

[@Telstar62a]

I got to see her at the Oregon Zoo in the late 1990s; she and Natalie MacMaster played (separately) an open-air concert on a summer evening, with the far off sounds of the animals piping up every so often. It was lovely.

[@fleurchallis1851]

Brilliant looking forward to seeing her live in London in May

[@oskahuxley6322]

Thank you for uploading this, she is so good and her live performances are frequently no different from her recorded music.

[@bobbins9002]

yes

[@concars1234]

BRILLIANT stuff! new fan created

[@sandramorey2529]

What a fine singer and wonderful guitarist. Come to think of it the rest of the band is great, too. I don't think it's traditional but it's a nice little story.

[@julistarling8382]

Similar to several traditional ballads but not the same as any. Good song. ^___^

[@scottfishkind5335]

Wonderful!!

[@Zangler123]

💕 wow...that is all

[@suecameron3124]

I don't know how you stand so still, your music just makes my legs want to jigg, Guess you wouldn't be able to sing many songs if you danced around 🤣😂🤣😂

[@mry1535]

Live this arrangemnt. Love the chord progression at 3.08 too!

[@ondrariegl]

Jazz spills over to many genres but it's esp hot in Irish music

[@davetighe]

Tremendous

[@danil5975]

Amazing!

[@fightforaglobalfirstamendm5617]

Defend and protect our culture and history from all, especially the invaders!

[@TimPomeroy-t7l]

does anyone know the name of the whistle tune McCusker and McGoldrick play as an counter melody to the main melody? Not asking for a friend! T

[@PhilDnz]

Superb multicultural folk music collaboration. Accompanying the wonderful Kate Rusby's plaintive singing, this is an amazing blend of English/ Irish and Scottish folk musicality. Can anyone name the musicians for me? I am only familiar with a couple.

[@philipedwards6936]

Brill

[@iketyke7324]

Goodness me. I don’t even know what to say.

[@dean8842]

Is there any better music in the world? Tell me so and I'll call you a liar!...

[@julistarling8382]

I like when she's married him and he's safe at home with her. ^___^

[@bri-annaedwardine1697]

A song from a simpler time when love was love and men looked at women differently than they do today.

[@bri-annaedwardine1697]

@@Justsayinyall Are you replying to my comment? Mine was a compliment saying how beautiful the song was and about times gone by... not quite sure why you think it's judgemental? Perhaps you misunderstood my meaning. Anyway, you got it totally wrong, I love the song and am far from hateful x

[@Skolfreaks]

very good arangement...... the Name of the musicans ?! her houseband ? or, or ;)

[@abacussin]

British and in particular English folk music is not celebrated enough. apart from Folk on Two on the BBC and the Robert Elms show on Radio London it barely get a play on national radio which is a disgrace considering the huge amount of talent out there.

[@johnqdarwin]

i love her . maybe a bit to much .
