How many of you people like Mary Black ?. I have been an avid fan of hers since I first heard No Frontiers.

Absholutely!

Have nigh on everything by her on CD and have seen her twice at the Albert Hall - the first time (with Declan Sinnot(sp) etc) being the best - I personally prefer her earlier releases, Babes in the Wood, the Holy Ground, etc. - wasn't as impressed with Shine and beyond - sublime voice though eh!

Me Too

Saw her at the Dominion in Tottenham Court Road then RAH (3rd row - yipee) and again at RAH.

Agree about Declan but she had good support acts, The Rankin Family and on another occasion Clive Gregson, early stuff is better IMHO

This has inspired me to play her "Collection" -quite nice.

I will also add that the musicianship and recording quality are quite superb.

My parents bought a Sansui system in a box a long time ago when they were distributed by Mission and inside the box was a Mission Branded Mary Black CD that I snaffled !

Wonderful !

She isn't very dirty though. I prefer a bit of emotion over technique.

How dirty is dirty?
