Kat Rusby in concert at G Live, Guildford
Friday 8 April, 7.30pm

English folk singer and songwriter Kate Rusby will appear at G Live for one night only on Friday 8 April. Kate is known as a remarkably interpretive singer with the ability to transport an audience via the simplicity of the songs she chooses to sing. From being a nominee for 1999’s Mercury prize – almost unknown for a folk singer then and now – to her second solo album Sleepless to 2014’s Ghost, Kate has stayed true to her folk and acoustic roots. At G Live she will, as ever, be joined on stage by the best of British folk musicians who form her band, including husband Damien O’Kane on banjo and tenor guitar; Duncan Lyall, double bass; Nick Cooke, diatonic accordion and Steve Byrnes on bouzouki. Kate has a winning combination of beautiful singing, engaging Yorkshire wit and intuitive support of the band, all leading to an unforgettable concert experience.
