The Guardian have been forced to post a correction of a regrettable error on their review of Melania.

Loving Hannah Peel on 'The First Time' with Matt Everitt on BBC6Music! She's ace, makes wonderful music, and seems like such a lovely person. No great surprise that she loves Tori Amos but always great to hear T. get a mention on the wireless!
