    She's a creator. She does her thing, which is divine. She doesn't care how you or me would treat a guitar. Or what would have bought her success. She's in a better place in her head and sends us postcards. How could I thank her enough?

    I saw her perform for the first time on this tour in the States. It was before the record was released so I heard the songs live for the first time and was blown away. Same with the second time I saw her on the High dive tour, I didn't have the CD yet and it was amazing. Usually you kind of like to know the songs first. I was dropped jawed amazed with tears in my eyes.

      Cool! We didn’t spot Fergal Sharkey in the audience that day, but have since met him more recently.
      The Les Paul Junior sound is great. Personally think her sunburst sounds better than her TV Special. Think she may have been playing through Dumble amps at the time ? Great sounds and a great time.
