So so sad.
I posted earlier today at around the same time as DerbyRam, and using an uncanny number of the same words. Well I'm sure I did, but the post got lost somewhere. Perhaps it was the shock that did it.

That enchanting, eponymous LP the sisters made in the mid-70s (their first) was one of THOSE records - and one that restored my faith in music at a stroke at a serious low point. I'm so glad I saw Kate & Anna live shortly after, at a gig where the heaviest of metal men were seen weeping into their beers.
And that little ol' LP will always remain a desert-island disc for me.

RIP Kate, and say hi to Theresa - you'll get along just fine!...
And condolences to all the clan.
