Since then she has toured throughout the UK, Europe and New Zealand as a solo artist, with The Claire Hastings Band and Top Floor Taivers, and has shared the stage with the likes of Lulu, Jamie Cullum, Deacon Blue and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

She will be accompanied at EFC by Jenn Butterworth on guitar (Kinnaris Quintet, Jenn & LB).
