NEW YORK, April 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Georgian-born (former USSR), Katie Melua, is a unique and remarkable vocalist/guitarist known for singing open-hearted ballads and loved for her bluesy, sweet and sonically irresistible songs.

A t THE tender age of 23 Katie Melua is Britain's top-selling female artist and has already earned a place on the rock chick rich list, but she remains faithful to her independent record label and is at her happiest on stage singing for her fans.

One of our most popular local presenters, Judi Spiers, recently raised a laugh when, interviewing Mike Batt on live radio, she had an embarrassing moment when referring to him having been recently elected deputy chairman of the BPI (British Phonographic Industry) - because somehow it did not quite come out as that! But perhaps that's why Judi retains her popularity with her natural wit and occasional errors showing she is human.
