She has a new album in the pipeline too. 'Glorious', which celebrates and commemorates The Queen's Diamond Jubilee, will be released on 21 May, featuring a unique collection of great British songs, old and new including 'White Cliffs of Dover', 'I Vow to Thee, My Country' and 'Land of Hope And Glory'.
