Containing 12 tracks of melodic pop songs & produced by Andy Hamill (4 Hero, Carleen Anderson, Nitin Sawhney and Kylie Minogue amongst others), it received widespread critical acclaim in the national and music press and went on to get played on Jeremy Vine's BBC Radio 2 show.
2002 saw Rebecca headline her own tour of the UK, appearing on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour & doing sessions for Janice Long on BBC Radio 2 & Tom Robinson on BBC Radio 6 Music. Later in the year she supported Roger McGuinn of The Byrds on his UK major venue tour. The title track of June Babies was used in a BBC programme about women runners.

In November of 2003 she supported Paul Carrack's (Squeeze, & Mike & The Mechanics) UK tour, whilst simultaneously continuing to play London - including The South Bank Centre, Ronnie Scott's, The Borderline, 606 Club, as well as art centres & venues round the UK.

March 2008 saw the completion & release of that album, Orange Roses - 9 tracks of mellow, melodic songs with a country tinge. Again produced by Andy Hamill, the album features the same great musicians & a sleeve design by singer-songwriter & artist Jeb Loy Nichols.

Giving a songwriting master class in the afternoon & featuring able support from local troubadours Emily Levy & Rich Arthurs – this is one event not to be missed.
