It's bloody hard work being the Irish Dido, you knowIt's no great secret that Parallax View is a sucker for girls with guitars so it should be no surprise to anyone that today's Single of the Week is Let A Good Thing Go by Gemma Hayes.

The first few tracks I ever heard from Gemma found me agreeing with media comparisons to the likes of Dido and Beth Orton. But the rumbling guitars and brooding melody of Let A Good Thing Go owe more to early Alanis; Peej Harvey and (most of all) Tanya Donnelly's 90s incarnation Belly.

Not a Top 40 candidate then, but a treat for the ears nonetheless.
