To continue just for a moment the mild thread drift, Rachel McShane is another folk cellist in Bellowhead. And Barry Dransfield used to play it too, but he put a strap on it and played standing up.

Anahata's cello playing is wonderfully expressive and I hope to be hearing it soon on Cool as Folk (to return to topic). One of my favourite tracks from Sharp Practice with Mary is Barbara Allen during which the instrument really does speak. He can also be heard to brilliant effect on Patterson Jordan Dipper's Flat Earth CD which is something else I'm hoping to hear played soon (more hints...)
