Nerina Pallot is great.
I first met her in the early 200s when I had a room in Cable Street Studios in London. Andy Chatterley has a studio in the complex, and one day when Chris McIntyre were in visiting Andy, he introduced us to his girlfriend, Nerina.
A short while later I saw Neil Finn performing at the Corn Exchange in Edinburgh, and to my surprise, Nerina was the support act. She was really good, prompting me to buy her debut album when it came out shortly afterwards.
