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.

The excellent folk singer-songwriter, Mari Mathias, in Abergavenny, this evening. Caught her at a festival last year and was bowled over so I'm looking forward to a full show.
