This was an 150 seat concert hall, very intimate, and superbly presented. She is on next in Sheffield today (Sunday), so go and see her if you can! Bob & Sue vG |

A couple of months ago, the FolkScene online folk music radio show played an old concert of hers, and it was magnificent. Sure wish she'd come out to this neck of the ocean! Aloha, Mark |

I was lucky enough to hear her and the Oyster Band when they were touring together doing rock'n'roll folk - one of the encores was June singing Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit" - it made chills run up and down my spine... Tabor's smoky voice and torch song arrangements of traditional material aren't everyone's cup of tea (some folk purist friends of mine walked out of one of her solo concerts once), but I've learned a lot of ballads from her recordings. "A Cut Above" got me hooked on ballad singing when it first came out. I'm glad she left the restaurant business and went back to singing! |

Dual concert June Tabor in the first half and Garnett Rogers in the second half. What a voice! Linn |
