Used to listen to her a lot back in the day...

...during her Breezeblock days late night on Radio 1 in the mid to late 90s. Got me into a lot of beats-based bands & artists. I stuck with her, though less religiously when she moved on to dubstep in the early 00s. And this was the early, British dubstep ie. slow, dark, actually based in elements of dub and not full of the farts, bleeps & novelty bulls**t that came later with the Americanised nonsense that quickly killed the subgenre off once it had it's brief mainstream spurt. Then we kind of drifted apart and I'd only catch her in odd spells on 6 Music in recent years. At times her vocal style could grate but only slightly and her enthusiasm for the genres she was representing would normally shine through.
The Professional Northerner Liz Kershaw on the other hand - no thanks. Never heard of the other one, Googled; don't really listen to R4 apart from channel hopping insomnia sessions in bed.
