Aside from possibly upsetting Eliza, who occasionally pops in here, I'd say all these threads are a healthy thing.

I'm a bit surprised at all the vitriol in this thread from people who don't really seem to know a lot about her work, but we live in a "soap" culture these days and I suppose it's to be expected.

I'm also a bit surprised at how negatively people react when their heroes get criticised too, but I don't suppose I should really. It seems hard to have an honest debate on Mudcat, though it's much better than some of the other forums. People always seem to think there's a hidden agenda.

I think she'd be welcome in my 1st Monday session at The Rose & Crown in Ashwell, but then so would anybody prepared to sing or play.
