The Whitburn singer-songwriter was at Manchester’s Deaf Insitute as part of her UK tour and Mike Hughes tagged along for a behind the scenes pictorial feature. Her second LP, Fast Food, was released on 6 April via Apollo, was our album of the week, and you watch the video for recent track ‘Fool’ here.
