Anna Friel started out singing. Now she is back, doing it again, for all America to hear. As a child in Rochdale she listened to her Irish father playing folk tunes on his guitar, and with her friends Clare and Louise started Cal, a band named after their initials.
This month Friel’s image is up on hoardings across LA because she is at the centre of Monarch, a new, all-singing small-screen drama about another musical family – fictional country music stars the Romans.
