Remi Nicole Live

Remi Nicole is definitely gonna be a big star or this writer will eat his ridiculous straw hat.

Weve been telling all and sundry that shes the next Lily Allen. But while the LDN singer played one chord at her recent Glastonbury show the next star from the capital knows her way around a guitar.

Though there were too many scenesters (including Donny Tourette) in Camdens Proud Galleries for our liking- Nicole still shone.

With band behind her she affects a sneer on Dates From Hell, Good Old Days is different from the acoustic original with a nice skank before the thrashing chorus.

New single Go Mr Sunshine has a summery stomp while the forlorn Fed Up benefits from the solid group behind Remi. Ending with I Love Rock And Rock the unassuming young lady impresses us.

Forget Lily she could be the British Courtney Love.
