Belinda added much needed acid to the brew, it's a shame she's gone although it's hard to see such a larger than life person staying in that set up. I hope she doesn't disappear into musical ghettoes licking her wounds for too long, she's much too talented.
Rachel seems a personable young woman and she undoubtedly has something and not only things the camera likes. The jaded me sees the Winterset fading and Rachel going very mainstream but that's not necessarily a swear word in my book.
I don't know whether there was a hint that I'd bumped the thread for commercial reasons, I'm just a music buying punter. Good luck to all concerned.
