I've been in love with this song for a little while now.
I've only just seen the video and, well, it's not dissimilar to being backstage at a Duke Special gig...
I've bought her album but haven't had a chance to listen to it yet!
Song takes a little while to kick in, but what a chorus! I just can't it out of my head.

Great tune that. Must see if I can get a wee download from somewhere...

The video is all a good bit classier than backstage at The Empire for sure... and she wears a dress so much better than Chip does...

[RadioWhatsNew]

Gotta luvitt!
Very catchy, it really put me in a good mood ^_^

I have that dress she's wearing

Weird!!!!!!!!!!!! Me too!


oppps! Oh dear did I just say that out loud??? shhhhhhhh! lol :whistle:

[Jacqui]

I agree, that's a great song and she has a really interesting voice -
kinda makes me think of 'Chrissie Hynde sings Duke Special, maybe with a bit of Blondie thrown in as well!

[atkygal]

This is pretty fab actually. Keep us informed as to how the album sounds. Agree with the analysis Jacqui - a quirky mix of all of those 3 folk!!

Has anyone heard of Cara Cowan? Gerry Anderson (Radio Ulster) had her performing in the studio last week and has been playing a few of her songs lately. She is quite young with a very unique sound, and has a really lovely voice.

GA mentioned that we should forget about Duke and Foy Vance, old hat, and listen to this young lady for a change!

[runnerbean]

If you have 4 mins. to spare this is worth listening to. I think it should work if you c&p.

Cara's done a few gigs for us at deadonmusic. Very talented girl indeed and her da was in the old Belfast punk band The Outcasts.

I quite liked that - she has a brilliant voice too! Will definately check her out, but yeah, please let us know what the album is like Stephen.

I will definitely watch this tonight. Listening to more of her recordings has convinced me to buy her album. Is there one available at the moment?

Are you a relative, Kathleen?

[runnerbean]

She reminds me of Stevie Nicks, maybe!

[runnerbean]

ps Thanks for the downloads. I am away to watch her now.
