So, Becks let's get this straight - you're young, beautiful, talented and quite possibly rich (you don't need to work)?



You wouldn't consider marrying me, would you?


OK - forget I said that! Just try not to accumulate a huge band because everyone does that and it will do nothing for your voice (you'll just be lost behind a 'wall of sound'). And what ever you do, resist any temptation to model yourself on Kate Rusby (pure prejudice on my part). Oh yes, and beg, borrow or steal a set of 'The Voice of the People' and pay particular attention to Lizzie Higgins - the greatest female traditional singer the UK ever produced (and, no, you won't need to develop a Scottish accent!).
