28/03/2015: North London girl Jess has been making huge ripples on the music scene over the past 12 months.
From featuring on Clean Bandit’s single ‘Rather Be’ and Route 94’s ‘My Love’ both of which reached number one on the UK Singles Chart last year and were nominated as Best British Single at the BRITs. Her debut solo single, ‘Right Here’, went top 10 and her new single ‘Hold My Hand’ straight in to No. 1 just in time for her first ever visit to the hallowed stage of pop at G-A-Y last Saturday. After hot-footing it straight from the BBC’s The Voice, Jess took to the stage in a slinky bejeweled jumpsuit and gave perfect renditions of all her hits, an album track and her new number one. With her DJ mixing live backing tracks and two super hot dancers, the stage was alive with energy and the air full of confetti explosions. A brilliant debut and we’re sure not her last visit to G-A-Y.
