Aaargh! Missed it. One of the great 'waif' voices that started me on English folk music.

Still available on I-P and well worth a listen.

I was quite taken by her memories of being alone in a sleeping bag on a beach in Ireland with a fire alongside. Additionally. all that business of singing to water and the water singing back.........I have had a similar relationship with the air. Hitherto the nearest I had found to a soul mate in that regard was Alistair Campbell in the era when he was playing his bagpipes to the coastal elements. And that in truth is no sort of soul mate at all what with the variety of the other parts of his identity. Consequently this was all rather good.
