Good Thursday Noontime my RP Brothers and Sisters!!!

I've managed to squeeze in a lunch break and thought I'd Post a Noontime Music Video... I selected a song by a singer, most of you will not know... but she has a great voice and she sings a cover of a 'Guns and Roses' song entitled "November Rain"...

Background:
Alexandria "Sandi" Thom (/tɒm/) (born 11 August 1981) is a Scottish singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Banff, Scotland. She became widely known in 2006 after her debut single, "I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker (With Flowers in My Hair)", topped the UK Singles Chart in June of that year. The single became the biggest-selling single of 2006 in Australia, where it spent ten weeks at the top of the ARIA Singles Chart. Thom has released five studio albums: Smile... It Confuses People (2006), The Pink & the Lily (2008), Merchants and Thieves (2010), Flesh and Blood (2012), and The Covers Collection (2013).

In 2004, Thom moved to London to pursue her songwriting career, working with three co-writers: Jake Field, Duncan Thompson and Tom Gilbert.[citation needed] Thom signed to Windswept Pacific Music in 2005, an independent music publishing company, and its UK arm, P&P Songs, and received £25,000.[citation needed] She signed a record contract with the record label Viking Legacy, where her mother was director who released her début single, "I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker (With Flowers In My Hair)" in late 2005.[citation needed] The song failed to garner major airplay or sales and release of her début was delayed.[citation needed]


On New Year's Eve 2008, Thom headlined the stage at the Aberdeen's Hogmanay celebrations followed by an appearance on the BBC Hogmanay show from Edinburgh where she sang one song. Thom was transferred by citation jet from Aberdeen's Hogmanay street party to Edinburgh's Castle to make both performances possible that night. Thom has also performed "By Afton Water" at the official Burns Supper in celebration of Robert Burns's 250th birthday in front of Scotland's First Minister. The event was held in Alloway, Ayrshire, where Burns was born. Thom then went on to perform in the Library of Congress alongside Sir Sean Connery and a host of Scottish congress members in January 2009.

Drop me a note to let me know how you like her cover and her voice...
