I have one tardily-as-yet-unlistened-to Kerfuffle album with Hannah James from Lady Maisery because I am a supporter of very upcoming duo Jamie Roberts (also ex-Kerfuffle) and Katriona Gilmore, who I've mentioned on here before. So I welcome the pointer and the information on 'diddling.' I could maybe manage that, as I am still like the aunt of Shirley Collins who knew about 2 verses of many songs! @ Muzza: Bodice-ripping is a bit over-rated if you live at Wuthering Heights on account of the cold, but we Yorkshire wimmin are made of stern stuff! Contrary to popular misconception however, there is little liberty in the liberty bodice. I see Lady Mary is still being laced up though. I would have thought she would have literally loosened her stays as part of the Women's Emancipation Movement! But we can see how mixed up she is about all that in the series! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_bodice Thanks, Reinhard.
