Thread Name: Melanie Harrold / Joanna Carlin
Subject: RE: Melanie Harrold / Joanna Carlin
I saw her perform as Joanna Carlin in the late 70s in Bristol - I think she was supporting Jake Thackray at a gig and I was so impressed I bought the LP 'Fancy that' at the venue. then tried to follow her. Bought 'Blue Angel' as Melanie Harrold and lost contact until much later when i got hold of Daphne's Flight. I'd love to get a decent copy of Rainbow Over the Hill with the Albion Band from 79. The you tube recording is rubbish but she shines through it. Also there are a couple of youtubes of her with the Hank Wangford band under the stage name Irma Cetas plus some other bits where she is a supporting vocalist for HW and AB. the newly released double Cd of the two albums is worth getting as it has some good sleeve notes. But if she recorded anything else I would buy it straight away. Truly fantastic singer.
