He came to Wales from London to listen to a male singer he had been told about, but as there were two floors in the night club and he walked in and heard me singing instead That was the beginning of my wonderful journey. Irsquove performed all over the world, and still love hitting the stage and entertaining my fantastic fans. The time was right however to get back into the studio but I knew that, to mark 50 years of performing, I had to deliver something really special. Irsquove done just that The new material is sounding amazing.rdquolsquoBetween The Earth And The Starsrsquo is more than just a return to form for the singer known everywhere for her genredefining hits. Her calling cards are the global number one smash lsquoTotal Eclipse of the Heartrsquo, but also of course lsquoHolding Out For A Herorsquo.

This new album keeps a link to her past with lsquoHold Onrsquo penned by Kevin Dunne, the bassist in her 70s band, who was a big part of Bonnie reconnecting with David Mackay and creating lsquoBetween The Earth And The Starsrsquo.
