Re: Julie Covington

I'll always most associate her with the single, 'Only Women Bleed'. My Mum adored the song and played it a lot at the time. I got to like it too.

My Dad is still really surprised that she turned down the chance to appear at the West End in the full musical of Evita, after doing so well with the album.
