Duffy bans family from live gigs

Rising star Duffy has banned her family members from accompanying her on her current sell-out tour.

The Welsh singer admitted that she does not yet feel comfortable with the idea of her relatives watching her live performances.

"I didn't invite any of them, though there's a part of me that thinks maybe I should!" she told the Daily Star. "I like to keep them away from my music. I have a lot to learn before I can present myself to them. I need to get a little bit more confidence."

Duffy picked up three nominations in the Mojo Honours List this week.
