Listen again to The Scarborough Fair version of The Holy and The Ivy on her Myspace that you put up and you might, MIGHT just see the where the difference. And the commercialism comes in."

Sorry, but what is this *comercialism* of which Ye speak?

I hear a beautifully performed version of a Christmas Carol.

You have to spell it out for me, as I've been told I'm 'intellectually bereft', so I don't always get what you're meaning, I'm afraid.

I did better than listen on the Myspace page though, I bought that CD for my daughter's birthday, just before Christmas! :0)

She loves it!

Not only that, but she played it in the gift shop where she works, down in town, and almost every customer who came in wanted to buy it, thinking it was for sale.

She ended up writing out the name, title and website details, over and over again. One man got terribly upset, because he was desperate to buy it for his wife, and wasn't able to get into Exeter, although to be honest, I doubt he'd have found her music even there.   

Not one person who heard the music had ever heard of Loreena before, but they instantly connected with it, instantly fell in love with it.
