I Think Singing It When Its Done

Contrary To The Norm, As My Technique Improved My Voice Became Higher.

Singers Can Also Get Away With A Lot Based On Youth, Strength And Enthusiasm, Only To Find Ten Years Later That What Was Once Just A Niggling Problem Has Brought Their Careers To An End.

I Learned So Many Roles So Quickly As A Young Singer, I Thought It Was Time To Come Back To Them And Make Them Better - Deeper, More Nuanced.

I've Spent Hours And Hours Doing Research Into Appalachian Folk Music. My Grandfather Was A Fiddler. There Is Something Very Immediate, Very Simple And Emotional, About That Music.

My Philosophy Is That The People Around Us Are There Doing As Much Work If Not More Work Behind The Scenes And They're The Last People You Would Ever Be Unkind To, So I Hope I'm Not A Diva Off Stage.
