Can anyone tell me if there are any Rita MacNeil cd's available in the UK? And if so, where?

I'm sad that this lady has died, and I'm sad for myself that until today I had never heard of her. I've watched the clips and it's obvious to me that I have missed a great talent, and a wonderful person. Now, at this too late hour, I have become a Rita MacNeil fan. Rest in Peace Rita. Condolences to your family.

Requiescat In Pace.

Barbara and I used to watch her on television some years ago. She seemed like a really nice person and we enjoyed her singing very much.

I first heard her song, "Working Man" on the radio in the car on the way home from work. It made a profound impression on me then, and continues to do so today. Her songs all speak to our common feelings. She will be greatly missed.

I have added her name to the Mudcat Roll of Honour.

RIP

Peter

Can Joe or a clone combine the two threads about Rita, and remove the incorrect name in mine? Don't know what I was thinking of when I typed the wrong name.......Ed T and I must have pressed the 'submit' button within seconds of each other.

Have just heard from a Canadian friend that Rita MacNeil has died - story here

"Working man blues" was sung at a session at the National Folk Festival in Canberra at Easter, it's popular in Australia as well as other countries.
