Fond memories of MCing her at Portpatrick Festival in 2003. A bijou 3 day event where main stage was the 200-seater village hall and facilities were, well let's say fairly spartan. I shared a dressing room with her - in fact all of us, - Anthony John Clarke, North Sea Gas et al shared that dressing room too! A gracious woman and my abiding memory is of her having several mobile phones in that tiny room, all on charge! She led us all in 'Wild Mountain Thyme' to end Saturday night's concert. The following day her workshop included tales of life on the road, TV success and what it was like to be involved at the start of the 'boom.' Good company, a delightful lady and a sad loss.
