She takes time to remind us she was a backing singer for Echo & The Bunnymen in the eighties and worked with Paul Weller.
She actually spent the longest time, under maiden name McPherson, as lead singer with Dundee band Street Level, whilst the day job was on girls magazine, (yes !) Jackie, with D C Thomson.
"At that time in Dundee, everyone knew I was in at least one band. Street Level had a certain amount of success, but at one point I was in about four bands. One night it was a synth-pop band that supported Echo & The Bunnymen, one night it was the New Romantic stuff, and the next night I was getting into my leathers for a rock band. There were nights when we would go to Aberdeen, do the gig, party afterwards, and go pretty much straight into work the next day".
