She has never had a good voice. No control. Wavering all over the place and encouraging embarrassment from real singers and musicians. I had no idea of her recent illness, and am sorry to hear about that, and I am sure she is a lovely woman, but am I, as a good singer and musician, not allowed my opinion? Her dysphonia is nothing to do with her having always had a weak, uncontrolled voice. She has been very involved with the folk scene, but her voice is unlikely to attract new converts to the 'scene'.
