-->'''Kate Rusby:''' "I kind of sing how I talk really, so it's going to sound like, from [[{{OopNorth}} Barnsley]] really."

Kate Anna Rusby (born 4 December 1973) is a British folk singer, mostly identified with Barnsley in Yorkshire. She was born in the rather unfortunately named Penistone, which is near Sheffield. She has released 10 solo albums, but has also performed on other people's albums, including a duet with Ronan Keating which reached #6 in the British charts.

!!Tropes which apply to her and her music:
* AlbumTitleDrop - Most recently in the song ''Four Stars'' on the album ''Make the Light'', with the line "I'll make the light and make the time now".
* BawdySong - Some of her songs border on this. For example: ''The Yorkshire Couple'' and ''The Game of All Fours''.
* BreakupSong - ''Underneath the Stars'', among others.
* TheCoverChangesTheGender - Mostly averted, as is traditional in English and Celtic folk music. Subverted somewhat with songs such as ''Awkward Annie'', which she wrote herself, but are sung from the point of view of a man.
* CoverVersion - A lot. For example, ''Who Knows Where the Time Goes'' (most famously by Sandy Denny) and ''Our Town'' (most famously by Iris [=DeMent=]).
* CreatorCouple - First with John [=McCusker=], and now with Damien O'Kane.
* FolkMusic - Well, yes.
* LetsDuet - With a variety of people, including Roddy Woomble from Idlewild and, most famously, Ronan Keating.
* OopNorth - Is mostly identified with Barnsley, and was born near Sheffield.
