Australia newest country star Catherine Britt has found a great supporter in Elton John.

Sir Elton has been telling the world about her. "Elton John became Catherine's most vocal fan after he heard her CD while on tour in Sydney" her manager Stephen White says.

"He ordered 30 copies and sent them all around the world. He was not only talking Catherine's talents up in his interviews but he also called her and invited her to his last Sydney performance which was televised nationally and in which he praised Catherine's talents yet again to an audience of millions".

Having Elton as your publicist has made some important people take note. Joe Galante, Head of RCA Group of labels in Nashville and Tony Brown, Head of Universal South are now aware of Catherine Britt The domino effect lead to a trip to the US, a meeting with Dolly Parton and the promise from Dolly that she will write a song for Catherine's next album.

But that's not the most exciting thing to happen to Catherine. The really, really cool thing she is looking forward to is touring the US in her own tour bus in February 2004. Unfortunately, Sir Elt won't be available to drive the bus. He is expected back in Australia around that time.
