I Love Coming Back To Neath -

I Am Fussy, About My Diet And Straining My Voice. I Know, Sounds A Bit Over The Top. But I'm Not As Bad As I Used To Be. These Days I Don't Drink Alcohol For Five Days Before A Show - Very Dehydrating For The Vocal Cords, And All That Acid Reflux. I Used To Ban It For A Fortnight. Nightmare.

With 'believe' Bringing Really Big Success For Me Outside Of The U.k. For The First Time, It Meant I Have Been Touring Around The World And That Led To A Gap From The Studio. I Really Feel Like The Gap Has Done Me The World Of Good. Throughout That Time I Was Able To Collect Songs That I Really Loved.

I Did Once Shatter A Chandelier. I Was Singing With My College Choir In Wales. I Was The Soloist And I Hit The High Note And There Was This Massive Bang And All This Glass Came Down From The Ceiling. I'd Like That To Be My Party Trick If I Can Perfect It.

I'm Launching My Own Festival In South Wales. It's Something I've Wanted To Do For A Long Time. It's Going To Be Held At Margam Park, Because I Wanted The Venue To Be As Close To My Home As Possible.

Marilyn Monroe Was Supposedly A Size 16, Which Is Probably Why I Love Her Style; It Suits Me Better.
