Whilst I don't agree with Michael's general point, I sneakingly agree about La Black. My fortieth birthday pressie from Mrs S was a ticket for the Celtic Flame tour of the UK. Musical giants like Donnal Lunny and Sharron Shannon were put out as warm-up acts! Then yer woman breezes on, and performs what Michael has described quite accurately above; gave us the benefits of her opinion of the Omagh bombing being 'a hiccup' in the peace process, and then gets the little people out again to beat out some jigs, whilst she does a parody of Julie Walters on the bodhran.

I thanked Mrs S, but had to admit Mary had disappeared up it.
