With her performance at Global Gathering drawing ever-closer the British singer-song writer sat down for a quick Q&A session!

What is your festival survival tip?
A great Tour manager LOL!

What do you always put on your rider? Anything weird?
Nothing weird I’m afraid… usually chocolate, vodka, cheese and an ironing board 🙂

What is your festival style tip / what do you wear on stage?
With the British weather in mind… Always take a large coat! Ha! On stage my outfits vary, I even wore an animal print onesie last year.

Who are you most looking forward to seeing perform at GlobalGathering this year
I am really looking forward to seeing Plan B & Rudimental

What really happens backstage/funniest backstage antics?
Festivals are always so much fun, all artist look forward to the summer for this reason but there is a lot of hard work that goes on behind the scenes, you rely on great crews and tour managers to make everything run smoothly.

Have you ever nearly missed a set? What was the closest shave?
Er… yes, I have had some close shaves, never missed a show but definitely gone from car to stage in a nano second LOL!

Have you had any star struck moments?
I was on tour with Prince last year and that was pretty sureal. You admire someone for such a long time and then all of a sudden you are on stage with them, it was amazing.
