The cover, ‘Don’t know what to do with myself’, received airplay on JJJ and 3LO during the Bacharach/David revival in the late ‘90’s. The follow-up album, ’Smoke and Mirrors’, was released in ’98. Whilst studying music at NMIT, Melita met Jen Skate, one of her singing teachers, whom she now works along side in the band ‘Skirl’ – cabaret show band extraordinaire.
