Kate Nash, Wedgwood Rooms, Portsmouth

Chart star Kate Nash brings her cockney vowel sounds and gum-chewing songs of teenage gripes to Portsmouth this October as part of a nationwide tour.

Described in the Guardian as "a cross between Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen", former-drama student Kate recently gatecrashed the top five with the single Foundations, having previously built up a loyal following through social networking website Myspace.

Throughout the summer, her live set proved a hit at festival appearances at the O2 Wireless and at the Carling Festival Reading, where she appeared on the second-stage and attracted a crowd that extended well beyond the tent's perimeter.

Address: Wedgwood Rooms, 122 Albert Road, Southsea, Portsmouth, Hampshire, PO4 0JS.

Other forthcoming events at the Wedgwood Rooms include live shows from Amy Macdonald, Mr Hudson and the Library and Fightstar, featuring former Busted heartthrob Charlie.
