Does anyone know what the music to the T-mobile (flex) advert is, please?

I think I could have answered my own question. Typed the line from the song into Amazon search ('Just another diamond day ') and came up with Vashti Bunyan.Never heard of her. Ring a bell with anyone?

She has a few albums out, kinda folky. Last album was released in October she was on t.v a bit programmes like Jools Holland etc...

Two albums heres the review from the last 'new' cd from HMV website.

Oct 2005

Sixties hippychick finally gets around to recording her second album � 35 years after the first.

Vashti Bunyan's story is one of the most extraordinary in popular music. Discovered by the Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham and with a debut single written for her by Mick and Keef, her late 1960s pop career nonetheless sank without trace. She then spent two years travelling from London to Donovan's hippy retreat on Skye in a horse-drawn cart, writing songs as she (slowly) clocked up the miles. The songs would appear in 1970 on an at-the-time-ignored, now-fondly-cherished album Just Another Diamond Day. Cue more sinking without trace.

Now, after a life spent bringing up her children in Scotland and Ireland, Vashti's finally got around to recording the follow-up album, a mere 35 years later. And where her songs were previously misunderstood, she's now found kindred spirits that were missing in her life back in 1970 � people like harpist Joanna Newsome and new-wave hippy Devendra Banhart are welcomed as guests.

Vocally, Vashti's somewhere close to the McGarrigles and Blue-era Joni Mitchell, while instrumentally the album is reminiscent of Gorky's Zygotic Mynci at their most delicate � all ghostly piano, gently caressed guitar and the occasional blow of woodwind. It's a wonderfully wistful, charming affair, dotted with some minor gems. There's the haunting autumnal opener Lately, the sparkling If I Were, adorned by Newsome's chiming harp, and then the album's most sublime moment, the undulating, piano-led Feet Of Clay.

We may have had to wait a generation for Vashti Bunyan's musical career to bloom but Lookaftering, in its stubborn refusal to wear 21st-century clothes, reveals itself to be an unfettered joy. - HMV Choice
