   Since Nanci has passed away, this defense of her is a bit late but I offer it   
   anyway: Nanci was a pacifist. When she heard that the Chieftains were   
   apparently providing financial aid to the IRA, she decided not to perform with   
   them. The official reason    
   provided by her staff for her cancelling out may have been meant to switch the   
   focus of the discussion. She knew doing so would open her to widespread   
   criticism, but she stuck to her principles anyway. I am sure the decision cost   
   her money, too.
