As well, her work in Northern Ireland has bridged cultural, religious and social divides as was recognised by the University of Ulster in its recent award .. of the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Letters...She is an outstanding individual, full of energy and ever optimistic, a driving force in the musical scene of the province."
