m8, I HAVE heard several of her tunes..She just does not do it for me at all I'm afraid. No reflection at all on you for enjoying her work, there are millions of others I am sure. Just not my cup of tea is all

A full sized string and brass orchestra in Covent Garden, a harpist (both acoustic and electric), a choir of Greenland Eskimo women, and a couple of hardcore electronica boffins, what's NOT to like about that?!

Let's face it, Dennis, if DonM can get behind it, it can't be THAT bad!

As I explained, simply clicking on the link doesn't force you to listen. I'm sad to see you so timid in discovering new music.

This old dog is learning new tricks, Nigel, she is great!

How little you know!!!

An unwillingness to click a link and listen to something I'm pretty sure you HAVEN'T heard of hers, despite a couple of other members (who you would think were perhaps also not her greatest fans!) liking it? What's a better word, then?

I went out of my way to pick something quite unique and accessible of hers, with an orchestra and choir, rather than the electronica you may be more used to hearing her do. Yes, she can do some VERY weird stuff! But this isn't one of them..!

Righto Diki, since you have raved about this particular clip (I mean that in a nice way ), I finally succumbed and had a listen.....hmmmmmm...best if I say nothing more!!

The strange thing is that Beth is from the USA but I get the feeling her main fan base is in Europe ( these clips are from a concert at the Paradiso in Amsterdam ) which is why we don't hear much about her here. Such a pity cos she is an awesome talent. Obviously Jeff Beck knew about her to take her on his US tour a few years ago.

She was born in Iceland wasn't she?

If you are talking about Beth Hart ... no she is from Pasedena California.

sorry m8, yes..I got lost a bit on the thread...I thought Don was talking about Bjork, and then you followed that post up and for soem reason I jsut assumed you were talking about Bjork!!..then I re-read your post and saw Beth, and NOT Bjork

My bad!!
