Funnily enough I did go to see June Tabor in concert, many years ago. I didn't enjoy the experience. It's hard to quantify sometimes why some voices (or instruments) adversely affect you. Shirley Collins has come in for a lot of stick in some quarters but others (me included) think she has a great voice. I threw in June Tabor's name in a vaguely light hearted way knowing that she is very popular and that it might create a response. For me, her voice is somehow very sickly. It literally makes me cringe. I couldn't possibly sit through an album of hers. You might think she's fab. We each think the other is cloth-eared. Isn't music a wonderful thing!
