Marianne Faithful

[andy-hughes]

I saw the profile last night on BBC4 - she is still recording and touring - 27 albums on from when she started.

That says something for a girl with no experience picked from a party and put into a recording studio as a 'novelty' act.


Since then she has raised her son almost single-handed, at a time when single mothers were seriously frowned on, and managed to sustain her career through to today.


I met and interviewed her a couple of years ago in Montreal - she was a mesmerising performer, and a witty and charming interviewee, and it's easy to see even today the radiant beauty she was as a young woman.

Any fans on here?

mamy.....yes, I know who it was/wasn't. I was commenting (with incredulity) that Ken stated that Sandy (which is why I sort-of said "that's Sandy Shaw you mean?) was a favourite of his....not that much a favourite, otherwise he would have known it's Sandie!

I misunderstood your response then :-)

yes, sorry...sometimes you have in your head what to post, but it doesn't quite mean what you intended when you read it back!
