My dads Irish music was such a huge influence. – Dido Armstrong
I feel very warm towards Mum and Dad for giving us the independence they did. My childhood, and the fact we didnt have a TV, gave me a boundless imagination. – Dido Armstrong
I really enjoy being single again. I spent a lot of time in a relationship and the nearer we came to the end, the more difficult it got. You dont see things clearly as long as youre still involved. – Dido Armstrong
In fact, Id just like to own something. Everyone thinks Im glamorous, rich and famous but all Ive got is some recording equipment and a battered old BMW. – Dido Armstrong
My dad was a huge country music fan, but he also had a band and he sang. So hed listen to a lot of music and the songs that hed learn for the band were more from the male artists. So my earliest country memories were Waylon Jennings, Conway Twitty, George Jones, Johnny Paycheck even. – Martina McBride
