Before Wednesday night, I'd honestly really never bought into the whole Mark Ronson thing.I mean, obviously he's very good at talent spotting- Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen and Adele being just a few of his proteges,but its only when I saw him on stage playing the guitar,then the drums, then DJing a set of massive hits,all of which he'd produced-that I realised quite what a talent he is in his own right.
Last night I went to the press preview of Cakey Perry- the high tea to melt your popsicle from the genius that is Miss Cakehead.I felt like a small child again-not least because I got into a sticky mess stepping on a Meringue and also spilt strawberry juice all down my top.Classy.
The Noisettes rocked up at the Royal Naval College in Greenwich for a photocall ahead of their support slot for Mark Ronson on Wednesday night, as part of The Greenwich Summer Sessions.I managed to catch Shingai,one of Britain's most charismatic frontwomen, for a quick chat.
