Sunny Afternoon, the Kinks musical, at the Grand in Blackpool. Originally saw the first End run some years ago and this is an excellent revival. The cast who play the Kinks are all great, especially Ray D. They could easily do a tribute act tour. Pleased that they use not just the hits but also some of the lesser known tracks. All reinforces what a superb songwriter he was/is.

Seems to be how she markets herself. Don't quite know why. Maybe it was a description someone gave her once? But given the double meaning of 'diva', it may not be the best one (maybe it doesn't have the pejorative meaning in Australia?).

Only issue we had was straight after lockdown, we went to what was billed as a solo gig and approx 50% was not solo, but a lady we didn’t recognise was accompanying. When we found out she was his spouse, it made more sense…Why shouldn’t they spend as much time together as possible if it makes them happy.
RT solo is very different from RT performing with anyone else at all, so it is good that the billing is clear then the unpleasant folk who are trolling can take their choice and the rest of us can enjoy it as a different experience. There is never an excuse for that awful behaviour and it is hardly likely to change their minds! |

She sang with Richard on the Royal Clipper this year and there were quite a lot of spiteful, hurtful comments from some of the ‘die-hard’ fans. They were out of order. Richard can do what he wants, I think. Audience interpretation is subjective (with any act). If he thinks she’s good enough, so be it. She seems to be a nice person from the little contact that I had, and she sounded good to my ears. But, hey, what do I know? This sums up our experience on the Royal Clipper, and our opinion on the subject, perfectly! We also found her to be personally charming, to boot. Pity that we didn’t meet up John. Wasn’t it a magical ship? I’m also sorry we didn’t cross paths. It was a fantastic experience for us as well. It was a rare opportunity for a Yank to enjoy Fairport! |

What's all this 'Folk Diva' business? Indeed, I think that could have been worded better... |

There's a new Crowdfunder to raise money towards a new documentary:

By chance, I rediscovered on my computer today the RT Live from London album, made up of recordings from livestream events in 2020, with RT on guitar and vocals, and Zara on harmony vocals. She doesn't match up to some of the other female singers he has used - Linda and Christine Collister particularly. But then they are both exceptional singers. And given that she travels with RT, it is understandable that she should sing back up with him live.
