'She was also one of the artists to perform at the first Isle Of Wight Festival and returned to perform there in subsequent years.' Just for the sake of accuracy/pedantry, I can't find any record that she appeared at the first IOW festival in 1968, but she was definitely there for the 1969 'Dylan' event. I can well remember the expression on her face when, after a very well received set,she asked for requests, and got a near-unanimous call for 'Going to the Zoo'. She was a great ambassador for acoustic music over many years, and will be much missed.
