very, very high bar of privacy.

So this is really not the sort of publicity that they would welcome, although they've gotten some pretty bad publicity in the past, I guess.

But she just said that, you know, they're not, her favourite one actually was this group of minions and there's a load of them outside.

They don't actually go in.

They don't touch a single person.

So they're kind of more creating this funny spectacle that draws attention to the place rather than actually antagonising anyone or going in.

Absolutely.

And I think, you know, not responding to it is probably or taking the door handles off is the best you can hope for.

And she seems... Or if they are, it's lyrics you might not understand.

I think that's why people refer to her voice as ethereal.

Yeah, it is.

Because as you say, it is like a musical instrument in how she sings.

It doesn't surprise me.

I mean, I think, you know, we forget nowadays when Clannad came along, they formed in the early 70s.

And she comes from a family of nine children.

And it was, you know, predominantly the kids that made up Clannad.

And like they really put Irish music, I think,

on the map internationally in a way that we hadn't seen before because they had a remarkable way of blending contemporary influences like the Beach Boys, like the Beatles, the Mamas and the Papas, particularly to my ear, with

traditional Irish form, not even just genres, but like forms of music, as you say, even her style of singing and everything was quite unique.

And to actually take these really important and rich to our cultural heritage elements and actually be able to blend them with the modern world in a way that captured people's imaginations.
