Lancashire-born popstress Diana Vickers might have first become a household name through The X Factor in 2008 (she reached the semi-finals), but it’s her achievements since that have proved really interesting.

In 2009, Vickers gave an acclaimed lead turn in the West End stage musical The Rise And Fall Of Little Voice. And over the last year, her debut album, Songs From The Tainted Cherry Tree, has also been taking shape; it’s showcased here, on her first solo tour proper.
