If you have not heard her voice, make time to hear it now - how lucky we are to live in an age where the voice goes on when the singer is gone. But Norma Waterson who has just died was more than one of the greatest voices in British Folk music, a member of its two most renowned families of song, and a founder of the British Folk revival in the 1950s and 60s. She knew what she was singing - and why. I am not sure if it is OK to paste you tube clips here, but listen to her talking here before singing the Moving on song. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IEnq8mYVtOM
