Kate Rusby's festive concert Christmas Is Merry comes hot on the heels of new album
The first lady of folk, Kate Rusby, is celebrating 20 years of Christmas tours with a new festive extravaganza.
Kate will tour her Christmas Is Merry show to Sheffield City Hall on December 14. She has also released a new double CD featuring 17 live tracks captured from her magical Christmas performances, plus five brand-new acoustic versions of much-loved festive favourites.
This special anniversary year promises a truly unforgettable evening. Audiences will be taken on a musical journey from lush cinematic soundscapes to moments of breathtaking intimacy — songs that soar, shimmer, and settle softly like snow. Expect a joyful mix of Christmas classics, Rusby-style, alongside the cherished Yorkshire carols where this much-loved festive tradition began.
Kate will be joined, as ever, by her supremely talented band and the legendary Brass Boys, whose rich, golden sound has become synonymous with the Rusby Christmas experience. Together, they’ll deliver an evening of music that’s both intimate and exhilarating — a cherished festive ritual for audiences and families alike.
With her enchanting voice — pure, angelic, and brimming with Yorkshire charm — Kate turns each show into a heartwarming celebration of community and song. Kate and her merry band promise a night of sparkling music, humour and heart that truly captures the spirit of the season.
Tickets cost £44.50, available from www.sheffieldcityhall.co.uk
