"she is the only person who we know who does warm up exercises."
Par for the course for the Critics Group.
There is a story in Luke Kelly's biography of one time, when he was a CG member, he was staying with friends in Grimsby. One morning they heard the most excruciating sounds emnating from the bathroom, so, after hammering on the door for a few minutes and getting no response, they finally shouldered it open, only to find Luke in the shower doing his voice exercises.
Ewan and Peg used to say that, when on tour they were often greeted with the most peculiar looks from hotel staff because of the noises they made (one has to presume voice exercises!)
