You can’t have Christmas without the wonderful Kate Rusby,s several albums of songs the church banned one plus local ones from around the country. Sung by the Barnsley nightingale
I think she’s up to 4 Christmas ones now
Hello,
I’m stumped, can you solve the riddle?
Greetings Günter
Kate Rusby also has a Christmas tour. I imagine Christmas albums for folk singers can be good sellers and break into the general market. Some are good songs too.
Fairytale of New York.

“Merry Christmas yer arse, I pray god it’s our last.”
Yes unforgettable
This seemed appropriate for today:
Quite challenging in places, but the quality of the singing in the wonderful acoustic of Merton College Chapel certainly excites the tingle factor.

Building on the Merton disc:
A stimulating mixture of the mediaeval and the 20th century, recorded in the sumptuous acoustic of Douai Abbey (where I’ll be returning to sing in ten days’ time) in 2012.
Great book-style packaging, too.
Mark
What a fantastic Christmas album & free gift!
Happy Birthday Kate Rusby!

I’m enjoying this. It’s a compilation with some overlap with the Christmas With My Friends series with some additional material.
