Jack, try listening to something other than Blow The Wind Southerly. All those qualities of wit, warmth and timing are there in spades. I care not a jot about what accent she sang in. I hadn't even thought about it 'til you mentioned it. She is clearly just not to your taste, which is fine. I don't suppose she classed herself for one minute as a folk singer. Had she been able to read this thread it would have been one second. Heaven preserve us from English folkies with their heads up their bums!
