The Magic Numbers musician Michele Stodart has recorded her own solo material and plans to release an album.

The bassist for the group wrote a number of songs herself and revealed she is planning to finish the LP by next year.

She told The Sun: "I've been busy writing a lot of material for my own record."

But Stodart has insisted that she will be sticking with The Magic Numbers. Her brother, who fronts the group, said of her music: "Her tracks are beautiful".
