As of October 2012, McCourt was set to return to live work with a new band formation, performing Carmel classics as well as material from the Strictly Piaf album.
Dates included those at London's Islington Town Hall, Stockton Georgian Theatre, and Manchester Band on The Wall.
They are all great in their own right and it will be so sweet to hear the many songs that Gerry Darby, Jim Paris and I wrote together in the years spanning the 1980s and the 1990s.
"[3] McCourt took the band on a European tour of Germany and Switzerland towards the end of May 2013 and began to start playing some of the new songs she had been writing.
On 25 September 2015, McCourt released her first new single with her new band, the double A-side "Sad Situation"/"Second Wife Blues", on new independent label Kultura Recordings.
