Yes, Kitty Kane is a wonderful song, and I sing it with the second verse that was omitted from Pithead in the Fern, because it's such a great verse - "Pregnancy, injury, theft and brutality threatened and scarred me again and again, but in black lace and silver I waltzed with the miners and I shone in their vision, for I'm Kitty Kane".

Les Sullivan's Lady of the Night is pretty good too. But I'm biased, because I sing the harmony for it on Echoes of Mingulay.
