Cilla Fisher talks about performing.
Cilla Fisher is now fronting shows more, as [her husband] Artie [Trezise] is more used to talking to children. [Break to turn tape.] She talks about atmosphere and lighting. She contrasts Ray and Archie Fisher's interaction with audiences and attitudes to their material with her own; she describes her style as gallus [brazen] and flippant, and jokes about finding innuendos in songs. She talks about recording with other artistes, including Ron Paterson and Hamish [Imlach?].
Asked about her taste for flamboyant clothes, she tells an anecdote about looking like a folksinger, and changing her appearance to escape this stereotype. She talks about objects that she and Artie are superstitious about; being a women performer; how the voice grows rusty with disuse; her sister Audrey's brief singing career, singing with other family members; background noise, lighting and audience interaction when performing and recording in folk clubs and theatres and as part of the Singing Kettle; and Billy Connolly's problem of being so well known.
