4. I loved Tropical Brainstorm

Particularly "In these shoes". I bought the CD, loved it and then found out that she had died. She was diving with her children. She was about 40 and had just hit her musical peak. Her dad wrote "The first time, ever I saw your face." Kirsty used to be on the French and Saunders Show, a skit show precursor to Absolutely Fabulous.
