Florence And The Machine

She's only just won the prestigious 2009 Brit Awards Critics' Choice prize, but we filmed her over a year ago...

Florence is Florence Mary Leontine Welsh. Shes a long pretty pale girl who makes up songs and sings them. The Machine is whoevers standing nearby playing an instrument at the time.

Florence is an art college drop-out from Camberwell, South London, where shes a known face in the charity shops. Shes been singing since pretty much forever. She was in the school choir, a few dodgy bands, had vocal lessons and such.
