Go Beyond Here

Kari talks to Christine, a veteran folk, jazz, blues singer-songwriter on the Isle of Man, as she connects to her father. They talk about what it's like living on the actual road course of the famous Isle of Man TT, the most dangerous motorcycle race in the world, the secret of this island and its power and magic as Christine shows what "toning" sounds like when she does it in front of the rare ancient yew trees, the land and sea and in a meditative, mystical way, channeling it each time, what she thinks of time and nearing 60 "sitting" in her life now, what keeps her being in the music industry for 37 years, despite the lack of hits, but yet still staying true to her raison d'etre, after early success singing the hit theme song of the 1986 BBC adaption of "The Life and Loves of a She-Devil," as well as joining the Richard Thompson Band in 1985.
