Who Will Sing Me Lullabies

Rusby wrote it in honor of Davy Steele, the Scottish folk musician who sang with the Battlefield Band from 1998 and earlier in Ceolbeg and Clan Alba, and who died on April 11, 2001, aged 52. Song of the Day describes it as sung from the viewpoint of Steele's young son mourning his father. It is track nine of Little Lights at 5:20, and won Best Original Song at the 2002 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. She re-recorded it for 20 (2012) with Richard Thompson and Philip Selway joining.

In June 2020 she performed it with Damien O'Kane in her online Singy, Songy Sessions, and it was used in the third season of Netflix's After Life. In 2011 she took part in a Glasgow concert marking ten years since Steele's death, and a tribute album, Steele the Show, was reviewed in Living Tradition. We found no recording date, single chart history or setlist counts, and we do not know whether our upload is the 2001 or the 2012 version.
