@farmerinthecity saw her live in the flesh on her comeback tour in London a few years ago. As I recall he took a set against her because he perceived that she had a measure of disdain for her audience. Which is fair enough and likely to provide a far better gauge of her character than the likes of @Fitzy and @balbec whose views are colored by getting the first stirrings in their nether regions watching Wuthering Heights on Top of the Pops.

As Fagan said, I saw her comeback show in Hammersmith Palace at 120 GBP a ticket. She played about 6 songs and the rest was performance art type stuff which I found massively self indulgent.

I never saw her on Top of the Pops. @balbec is a lot older than me so you’re probably correct in his case.
Didn’t see her either. We only had one channel in those days.
I believe that RTÉ 1 showed TOTP for a spell.

Did they not show it on that Welsh channel that Wexford people are so proud of?

It was television generally that led to the decline of morality in Ireland.
I thought it was show bands?
I think the priests were at it long before then,
