Mudcatters who, like me, appreciate Karine Polwart's music may be interested to see an interview she has done for my site Salut! Live. The first of two parts has just been posted at this link
and a second, shorter part (quick Q&A) will appear later this week (it's done by e-mail so I reproduce questions and answers more or less verbatim).

I do not know what others think, but having initially found her recent album This Earthly Spell fairly heavy going, I now need a fix of it every few days.
