She has also worked with Volbeat, William Orbit, Soman, Die Krupps, Pete Doherty, Douglas McCarthy, Gary Numan, Ian Broudie, Martin Gore, Sacha Distel, Tim Burgess, Carl Barât, Robert Görl, bandmate Chris Wilkie on non-Dubstar projects, Moonbootica, and Mark Nevin of Fairground Attraction, among others.
The name "Scoubidou" comes from the late French singer Sacha Distel, who scored his first hit with the song of the same name in 1958.
Highlights included The French Connection with Sacha Distel, The Roaring Forties with the Pointer Sisters, His & Hers with Jack Jones, Off to the Movies with David Essex and Michael York, And All That Jazz with Oscar Peterson, and two Christmas specials, one with Anthony Newley, the other with Frankie Howerd.
