I recently bought her CD in HMV for just £9 and I can tell you now that it is probably the best thing since I discovered Sandy Denny and other members of the Fairport clan.

Has anyone heard of her?

She disappeared after the release of her second album but isn't dead - she just disappeared.

Anyway, I thought it would be cool to talk to people who have discovered this fossil of an artist.

Scottish tent dwelling folk singer woman who disappeared right? She's back is she?

No, i don't think she is back but the stuff she made back in the 60s/70s is absolutely amazing! The whole fairport convention crew are so cool and talented. I also like Vashti Bunyan (from London i think) and all other sorts like Joni Mitchell. Oh how their music rules over the pop of today....

You a fan of Moira Anderson as well?

Yeah, and the likes of Shirley Collins and sort of Davy Graham.
