Mim's roots go back to the UK Folk Scene of the '70s when she was likened to Joan Baez, and ranked alongside Maddy Prior and other revivalists of the Time. Then, she played a significant role in the folk revival, appearing at most Of the Folk Clubs and Festivals of the time, including Edinburgh and Cambridge, with acclaim from all the leading critics of the day. Miriam's Interpretations of traditional and modern folk songs are unique, and her Sbility to lead a Folk audience into chorus singing, particularly, 'Keys Of Canterbury' at Cambridge Folk Festival 1976, is the stuff of legends. Since she moved to South Africa, she has entertained for many concerts and Festivals, including Grahamstown, Port Elizabeth and Splashy Fen. 'Over Africa' features on the 10 years CD - and she has established herself as a Shining light in the entertainment business. She is unique in South Africa, her songs, like 'The Beautiful Pass At Van Reenen' and 'Over Africa' have become part of their music heritage. Her Protest songs about the border war 'I Don't Want My Child To Die' and Mother's Lament' have been recognised as some of the best, ranking alongside Those from other troubled lands like Ireland, USA etc. 'Gypsy Without A Road' [ incidentally, now worth over £200 on the original Vinyl ! ] with a couple of bonus 'live' tracks has been re-released on Saffron Summerfield's 'Mother Earth' label.
