working for a recording studio in Cardiff that specialised in Television and
Radio commercials, as well as Radio Station indents. During this time Elaine put
together a small band called Talon and released a single on the Sain Record

from Brittany. She also performed in the
Eurovision Song Contest
in Oslo
1996.Most of this work took Elaine into
the Celtic and Folk
world, but her style of writing and vocals crossed over into Country Music, so
for a
while she worked on the country scene. As a result Elaine was responsible for creating the backing vocals on a number of British Country albums. For
several years, it has been suggested that Elaine release a solo album. So in the
summer of 2000 she seriously looked at the possibilities of producing such an
album.
