AFTER a teaser of headline performances in November and December, and the release of her debut album Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful?, Paloma Faith has announced a headline tour in March 2010.

The Hackney born singer draws on diverse influences from her colourful past, including working as a magicians assistant, actress, burlesque performer and trained contemporary dancer, and uses unconventional theatricals and props to make her stage shows original, engaging and magical.

She appears at Portsmouth’s Wedgewood Rooms on November 16 and has just announced a follow up headline show at Southampton Guildhall on March 25, 2010.
