Chords for Kate Rusby "Underneath the Stars" - The Andrew Marr Show BBC

and Laura Marling.
Lovely to have you here.
Thank you for having us.
Just tell us a little bit about the
state of folk music because you emerged in the 90s ahead of the rest of them and we are seeing
more going on in the scene but it's not really backed up by the big money like the rock and
rollers is it?
No but it never kind of has.
I don't know what kind of scene it would be if it was
really.
I think it might ruin it a bit yeah.
Yeah.
Because you know part of folk music's _ appeal I
suppose is that everybody just ploughs on with it themselves you know.
I mean it's stronger for it.
So you're a very successful recording artist but does most of the sort of the money and the fun
come in live gigs?
I mean I know you were up very late last night.
I know that.
Yes we were.
Drove
down from Derby.
Yeah we had a great time up there.
Yeah well it's it kind of depends you know a lot
of the folk artists like myself we have our own record labels you know so even though you sell
less you can still make a living from it.
You know my whole family are employed in our record
company so it you know maintains us all really a living really.
And you were a musical family
going going back to your parents weren't you?
Yeah yeah my parents both sing and play various
instruments and that's why me and my siblings started playing and yeah so I've been kind of
in it since I was born really yeah.
And do you get a sense that there are new people coming in all
the time that it is actually it's alive?
Because it used to be oh it's a bit of an old-fashioned
thing folk it's on the way out it's way down it doesn't seem to be that way now. _
No I mean you
only need to go to festivals like Cambridge Folk Festival and you will see the array of music on
offer you know I mean we say folk music but kind of anything goes these days really.
And
music of all kinds.
Yeah and young people and older people are playing too.
And the song you're
gonna sing for us now?
This is a song called Underneath the Stars.
And when did you write it?
I wrote it probably about six seven years ago something like that.
But it's one of your
favourites?
It is like stargazing.
Yes okay we're going to enjoy that hugely in just a moment.
Okay
that is more or less it at the end of this extended program.
Coverage of events to mark
Remembrance Sunday follows very shortly.
We are back next week with the selection of politicians
who knows and some more music but for now I'm going to leave you with the voice of Kate Rusby
and Underneath the Stars.
Goodbye.
