Diana has a huge voice, warm and full of emotion. The song is self-explanatory. Close your eyes and play it through a massive system to get the full benefit of her voice. This was produced in Glasgow by Gordy Goudie of Echo And The Bunnymen/Texas/Simple Minds...

Just A Girl (2010) Producer Jamie Duffin

Another song recorded by the talented Jamie Duffin who was the first to record my work, for which I am forever grateful. He was so patient and tolerant of me. He is a very talented musician and I loved his voice and persuaded him to do some bv's here and there for me.

Folks Like You (2010) Producer Jamie Duffin

This was recorded by Jamie Duffin many moons ago.

…you need a world of help to stand alone. Don't really know why I covered this song. Attic Lights are a band from Glasgow. I guess I kinda fell in love with the song at the time. As you do. And then you move on.

This has been re-recorded and is on the debut album, Lulladi, released February 2021. This is the original recording, by Jamie Duffin. Some say the first cut is always the deepest...

Heartbeat (2010) Producer Jamie Duffin

ooo this was written about a guy i once thought i would marry...we met at a friend's wedding, shared the boat over to a romantic, candle-lit ruined abbey for the ceremony, then didn't see eachother for another 10 years...additional guitar, drums, bass and bv's are by Jamie Duffin who produced and mixed the song too.

I love this song! It is actually about quite a sad subject. But I always loved the melody and only learned what it was about later when Jesse told me. Sometimes I hear a song and get an urge to cover it before I know the first thing about it.  I recorded it over a decade ago and must've got to know him around that time too. I now sing it just at the piano, when out on the open mic circuit here in Glasgow. Jesse Malin is a cool NY artist with a great band who tour regularly (over here in the UK too- he loves King Tuts...). He has an extensive musical history and has worked with a whole host of incredible artists.  He has Bruce Springsteen singing on this. The original is soft and sweet, quite different and, being a nurse, the Sunday stomachaches he sings about mean something quite different to me now.  I encourage you to go and listen to his music. You'll find this song on his 2007 album Glitter in the Gutter. Better still see him live. He has great energy and always puts on a great show.
