A folk songstress at heart renowned for her soulful vocals, Kate is setting off on a winter tour performing songs from her Christmas albums. These heartfelt performances continue the proud tradition of Yorkshire carols, many of which are still sung in pubs across the county. Join her for an uplifting session of warming Christmas cheer.
