It is great to see how Deborah Rose has combined the two and also the way that Farringford is part of her story (the walk over from Farringford to Alum Bay via the memorial is one of my favourites. It also satisfies our children who put up with visiting Tennyson's study and memorial etc with the prospect of the tacky delights of Alum Bay to come. The fireworks at Alum Bay are fantastic, I have to say...). Coming back to the subject of pre-raphaelite songstresses - don't know if you remember the days when Loreena McKennitt, the Canadian singer, was a great favourite in pre-raphaelite circles - I think she looked the part even more than Deborah does. However I felt her rendition of the Lady of Shallott was quite dull really (and I didn't think her Highwayman is much better). Haven't heard anything of her for years. Anyway, look forward to hearing what you think once Deborah's album comes outWoofWoofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14142792485921452481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1441164155286448763.post-27857819167790032032013-04-27T18:09:52.708+01:002013-04-27T18:09:52.708+01:00A preraphaelite song writer!?
