| | Earle Hitchner on Kate Rusby |
 | | Kate Rusby is photogenic, with light-brown ringlets framing a softly radiant face that has prompted some critics to call her "the sweetheart" of England's folk scene. |
 | | Kate's parents, Steve and Ann Rusby, are Yorkshire natives who love to sing and play music (Ann on accordion, Steve on banjo and mandolin), and from an early age Kate was steadily exposed to folk music along with her older sister, Emma, and younger brother, Joe. |
 | | In 1993, Kate Rusby was invited to record her first album, "Intuition" (Fat Cat Records), linking up with Kathryn Roberts, a singer from a nearby Yorkshire village, to form one of three pairs of young women featured on the recording. |
