Kate Rusby – the Barnsley Nightingale - who will be appearing at the Floral Pavilion, New Brighton on October 26, is releasing her new album on October 22 and will feature many of her new tracks during her Merseyside appearance.
The album, entitled ‘20’ will mark 20 years of music making, and will feature new recordings of her favourite songs from throughout her illustrious career. The album will include collaborations with the cream of rock, folk and bluegrass artists, including Paul Weller, Richard Thompson, Nic Jones, Dick Gaughan, Philip Selway, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Chris Thile, Eddi Reader and others.
From the trad folk of Jolly Plough Boys and Annan Waters from her solo debut Hourglass (’98) to the seasonal beauty of Home from her 2011 Christmas album While Mortals Sleep via Unquiet Grave, Sho Heen and Wild Goos’ from her Mercury nominated ’99 album Sleepless, the title tracks from Underneath The Stars (2004) and Awkward Annie (2007) and many more, Kate dips into every corner of her catalogue to create a set that is a wonderful introduction for the uninitiated and a fabulous reinterpretation of her greatest hits for the committed fan. In addition Kate has written and recorded a beautiful new song for this album called Sun Grazers, on which she duets with Paul Weller, who has never sounded in finer voice. Other collaborators on the album include folk giants Richard Thompson, Nic Jones, Paul Brady and Dick Gaughan, Radiohead drummer Philip Selway, bluegrass upstarts Chris Thile and Sarah Jarosz, American folk & country singer Mary Chapin Carpenter, Eddi Reader and many more.
‘20’ will be released on the Rusby family’s Pure Records label via Island Records. For this release Island has resurrected the legendary Island Pink label on which albums by Nick Drake, Fairport Convention, John Martyn, Sandy Denny, and Richard & Linda Thompson were released during the 70s.

Kate Rusby was born into a musical family in Barnsley, South Yorkshire . Her parents had a ceilidh band which Kate and her sister Emma joined at a very early age. Kate’s musical world is still very much a family affair – her parents, along with Emma and her brother Joe manage her, run her label, record her albums and book her tours, while her husband Damien O’Kane co-produces her records and plays guitar in her band. Kate’s first album release was a collaboration with another young singer – Kate Rusby & Kathryn Roberts (95). She has since released 9 solo albums: Hourglass (98), Sleepless (99), Little Lights (2001), Underneath The Stars (2004), The Girl Who Couldn’t Fly (2005), Awkward Annie (2007), Sweet Bells (2008),Make The Light (2010), and While Mortals Sleep (2011). She was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize in 1999 and has won Folk singer of the year 2000, Best album 2000, Best song twice (2002 for Who Will Sing Me Lullabies and 2006 for No Names) and Best Live Act (2006) at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. Proof that the cottage industry approach can pay off in the 21st century, Kate has quietly sold over a million records on the family-run independent label Pure Records and regularly plays sell-out tours around the country.
