It feels like many moons ago now, but since then as a fan, I've followed Paloma and her career and seen her and it grow from strength to strength. From the days of people saying to me "Who's Paloma Faith? I've never heard of her!" and small venue gigs. To sell out tours, big arenas, certified double platinum albums and recording/performing songs with some of music's biggest legends; Dame Shirley Bassey, Sir Tom Jones, Candi Staton and Ray Davies, to name but a few.
Year after year I've watched as she's been nominated or performed at the Brit Awards, waiting and hoping for her name to be announced. Which is why, when she finally won a Brit Award this year for Best British Female - I shot up from the table, faster than I ever have in my life, screaming YES!!! Before proceeding to burst into tears. It was so deserved and her speech was so moving. Paloma is bigger and better than ever and has come into her own. She has worked so unbelievably hard to get where she is, whilst still retaining her individuality and being as down to earth as ever. I was and still am, completely over the moon for her. Her win, is proof that determination, hard work, and passion pays off in the end. She's such an inspiration and I'm so proud of her and everything she has achieved. Congratulations Paloma on being the Best British Female (we knew it all along!)
Here was some of Paloma's journey at the Brit Awards 2015....

Firstly I want to say a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Paloma for her Best British Female win at the Brit Awards last night! I don't know about all of you but I am absolutely ecstatic and over the moon for her. It could not be more deserved and as soon as I get a spare moment, I will be writing a blog about it.
Which leads me to telling you all about the next fan project I have up my sleeve for Paloma, which I would absolutely love for you all to get involved in...
I'm planning to put together a fan book for Paloma, to include messages from as many of her fans as possible. You could write about why she has inspired you, the reasons why you love her, any stories or funny anecdotes that you wish to share. Including also (if you wish) pictures from when you've met her or seen her live or any artwork you have created.
To get involved all you need to do is...
Write your message beginning 'Dear Paloma'... followed by whatever you would like to say to her (in no more than 500 words)
Attach the photo(s) that you would like me to include
Then simply put this into an email titled 'Dear Paloma'and send it, along with your full name to:
FansofPaloma@gmail.com alternatively you can send it to me via the 'message' button on the Facebook Page and I will do the rest!
Please note:
Whilst you are encouraged to send a message that's as personal as you want it to be, there is a possibility that the book, or at least extracts from the book may be viewable to other fans once it's completed. Therefore if your message is personal, and you do not wish it to be included in the extract (should parts be published) please let me know when you send your message and I will make sure that it isn't.
You can send as many photos as you wish, I will aim to include as many as possible but may be unable to include every one. - Photos will be credited to the owner but please make sure your name is included in the email so I can do this. - There is a possibility that the book (or extracts) may be viewable to other fans once it's completed, so if you wish to put a watermark on your photo(s) before sending them to me then please do. Otherwise I will assume you don't mind them being seen by others.
The closing date for which all messages and photos must be submitted to me by is:
MIDNIGHT ON MONDAY 17TH AUGUST 2015.
I'm so so passionate about this idea because I have
been dreaming of doing it for ages and now that one of my best friends
is on board for moral support/creative director we can make the dream
into a reality! I really really want us to make this the best project
for Paloma yet and for us to put a huge smile on her face. To do this, I
really need your help, so please please get involved and help to spread
the word to your friends and other fans!
Following on from the last three years, I decided to put together another 'Where's Paloma' blog for 2015! As before, this should tell you where Paloma will be appearing/performing next! I've organised it under headings, so it should make it easier to find what you're looking for. Also if you click on the
name of the
perfomance you're interested in, it should take you to the web page
associated with that performance (where the link is available), where
you will be able to find more information.
I
only list what I find, or what is announced by PFHQ, so as such
performances and appearances may be subject to change, or may not be
listed if I don't know about them. However, I aim to keep this blog as
up to date as possible - and will add any further confirmed dates,
changed times/dates as and when so please do check back for further
updates!
Also remember to keep a look out on the fan page
- because I will usually post an announcement when a
performance/appearance is confirmed, as well as a little reminder on the
day!
As I had an ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC time attending more than several of the dates, on Paloma's UK Tour... I decided I would put together this blog, as a surprise, for both Paloma and all the fans to re-live the memories of what has been yet another incredible set of shows from start to finish!!! Below you will find mementos from every date of the tour; which will include photos, fan comments, reviews (where possible) and a video from every song on the set list.
I hope that you all enjoy x
Tour set list included: Take Me, Picking up the Pieces, Mouth to Mouth, The Bigger You Love (The Harder You Fall), It's The Not Knowing, Beauty Remains, Leave While I'm Not Looking, Love Only Leaves You Lonely, Other Woman, Impossible Heart, Crazy Love (Cover), Crying (Cover), Ready For The Good Life, Trouble With My Baby, Only Love Can Hurt Like This, Changing, River Deep Mountain High, Can't Rely On You.
