I’d been invited to see a bit of klezmer in the East End; this wasn’t exactly what I had pictured. An amazingly talented violinist (I have seen no better) with such effortless command of her instrument - from the slow low elegy to the frantic high-pitched Jewish party - but who still felt compelled to take to the stage wearing nothing but her underwear, in doing so (for me) compromising herself. Maybe I’m being harsh.

You’re not being “harsh,” you’re just being sexist. She can wear whatever she wants to.

Oh that’s a relief. I was worried there. I’m sure you are right, it was just what she fancied wearing at the time.
