errrr i'm pretty sure Sia has played the UK before now, definitely with Zero 7, and 90% sure on her own, which i seem to remember being advertised in YOUR mag.
I thought Sia was pretty common knowledge, ever since her Colour The Small One album.

I'm with the above. I think Sia has just finished a UK tour, is pretty common knowledge. I think she could even be described as pretty mainstream after her song Breathe Me was used at the end of the final episode of Six Feet Under. Get it sorted.
