I actually had a fair amount of contact with Karan at Old Songs last summer; she did a lot of performing and a couple workshops. The first day of her two-part singing workshop was a concert which I think some were disappointed in..notthe concert, but that she was doing a a how-to workshop...then the next day she DID do a singing class! (Some of the folks who came the day before did not show up) She was great. She was very complimentary to me and said I should keep singing! She is one of my favorite singers and has been a real model for me (though my voice is nothing like hers).This new line-up seems to be working well for her; the new guitarist is great! though Donal Clancy who played with her and Niall briefly was also wonderful...
