Thank you so much for reading, and taking the time to respond. I’m glad you were inspired – she’s a good ‘un, that’s for sure! x

Thank you for posting! A fascinating interview with a most inspiring woman: combining working towards her artistic vision with raising her family and contributing to her local community. A path I hope to emulate too. XX

Only just discovered the blog. Great stuff. Can’t wait to heat the Unthanks album and to read how you got on in Edinburgh.

Thanks, Carol! It’s so kind of you to pop by and say. I hope that next time Eliza is in New Zealand, you might be able to catch her. Take care x

Congratulations Sophie! Your book is great and I couldn’t put it down. Although on the other side of the globe, I’m a big fan of Eliza Carthy and really enjoyed the insights that your biography gave – in a very accessible form – to an outstanding musician who has contributed so much already. I also appreciated the background to Eliza’s various recordings. I had to keep stopping to play various tracks and albums as they were mentioned in your book.
It’s a lively and informative addition to my library. Many thanks for your efforts and give yourself a huge pat on the back!

Well, Emma’s so modest that she hasn’t put any clips of her playing online (much as I’d like to persuade her!) but if you email emmasweeney86 AT gmail.com, I’m sure she’ll be happy to send you something.

Sounds like Postcards was a really good event. Glad it went well! Really good line-up for your event – Malika, Glass Ankle and Samson and Delilah are some of my favourite bands in Manchester at the mo I think.

Ah, I know the feeling with Myspace. I haven’t checked the Songs for the Bath Tub one for months, and feel guilty about it, though haven’t quite brought myself round to deleting it yet…
