Her multi instrumentalism (guitar, autoharp, banjo, keyboards,
concertina), her unashamed fealty to the politics of folk music (where
gender wars, labour laws, ecology and Napoleon jostle for space), and
her magnificent voice conspired to still a surprisingly small crowd who
hung on her every note and syllable. - Siobhan Long, Irish Times
With the singing voice of a 20-year old, the tone and temperament of a slightly acidic and world-wise 40-year old, and possessing the studied acumen of a 500-year old, the lady enjoyed a warm intimate gathering of friends and family upon the occasion of her 70th birthday at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London, England. - Mark S. Tucker
