Maria has passed.

Those of us of a certain age, and appreciated Clive James' humour will, I trust, mourn her passing. Great vocalist!!

Ah, it was only recently that Clive James died too of course, and she said some wonderful things about him at the time:

Passed what - a singing audition?

I did make a post about her in the obituaries thread in The Lounge.

Clive realised she had a talent that would be appreciated worldwide, not just because where she was from, but simply her unique ability and fearless spirit to deliver 'the song'.

Unique, and a truly nice human being.

RIP Maria Pracatan.
