Rising Irish star Nell Mescal will support Robbie Williams at UK festival
IRISH singer-songwriter Nell Mescal has revealed she will support Robbie William at a UK festival in June.
The 21-year-old rising star, who hails from Maynooth in Co. Kildare, says she is 'beyond excited' as she revealed her busy summer schedule, which includes performing ahead of William's gig at the Come Together Festival in Newcastle.
'I'm beyond excited for what's to come,' the young star, who is the younger sister of Gladiator II star Paul Mescal, said.

'I have lots of new music that I'm currently working on, which will be out soon,' she added, 'and I'll be playing festivals this summer and working on a run of headline shows for you all later in the year.'
This week London-based Mescal released her new demo Thin, which she claims was 'really difficult' to write.
'Thin is about body image and equating what you look like to what your worth is when it comes to love,' she explained.
'It was a really difficult song to write and to confront and comes from all my darkest and most untrue thoughts about myself.'
She added: 'The ultimate message of the song and what I hope people get from listening to it is that these thoughts aren't true, but that doesn't make the emotions any less real and that you are enough as you are.'
The track is Mescal's first release since her debut EP Can I Miss It For A Minute? In May 2024.
The singer has kept busy in the meantime, enjoying sellout headline shows in New York last month, a support slot with Dermot Kennedy at Misneach Festival in Boston, and performing a string of intimate acoustic gigs.
As well as her slot with Williams on June 4, Mescal will perform with her band at festivals across the summer.
In the past she has performed at Latitude, All Points East, and Electric Picnic and supporting a range of acts, including HAIM, Florence & The Machine, Dermot Kennedy, and The Last Dinner Party.

Greta Thunberg sets sail on Gaza aid ship wearing League of Ireland jersey
Climate activist Greta Thunberg was spotted wearing a Bohemians jersey as she set sail on board the Madleen, as part of an effort to bring aid to Gaza. Thunberg appeared on Instagram wearing the club's third jersey, sponsored by Fontaines DC, an Irish band that has been involved in fundraising efforts to try to bring relief to the besieged territory. Bohs have played their part in raising awareness of the plight of Palestinians. Last year the club's senior women's team welcomed the Palestine women's international side to Dalymount Park for a friendly. And the club's Chief Operating Officer Daniel Lambert is manager of Kneecap, a band that has long been vocal in its support of Palestine. Thunberg is one of 12 people hoping to bring aid to Gaza. They set sail from Sicily on Sunday with the aim of bringing aid and awareness in the wake of the ongoing humanitarian crisis there. Game of Thrones actor Liam Cunningham is another member of the Madleen crew.

Behind the music - i n n e r l i z z a r d s
Limerick producer, singer and songwriter Rory Hall aka Proper Micro NV has released his latest single, I Want To Cry But I Can't, under his new project, i n n e r l i z z a r d s. We asked him the BIG questions . . . Speaking about his new venture, he says, "I've been working as Proper Micro NV for 10 years now (which shocks me to even say). I love working on the project and I will absolutely continue to do so. "Over the last year or two however, I've had a burning desire to start a new project. I want to create, and i n n e r l i z z a r d s will hopefully be the mega-massive release of thoughts and feelings that I think I've always needed. "My plan is to take this one step at a time. I don't want to get lost in a machine. I just want to release, wait and hopefully see. Throw another plate on!" Tell us three things about yourself . . . I'm an Irish singer and producer who works under both i n n e r l i z z a r d s and Proper Micro NV. I've played festivals and venues all around Ireland and the UK - Electric Picnic, Latitude, Body and Soul and the Dublin Castle etc. I love my dogs! How would you describe your music? I suppose electronic has always been a baseline for me and then it's just a case of what I start building around that. At the moment, it's quite lo-fi and a little bit R&B. I suppose it's emotional music this time around. Who are your musical inspirations? A bit of everything really. My main inspirations in terms of live music would be artists like Basement Jaxx, Gorillaz and Grace Jones. People who put on big live shows and do it so well. I've been listening to a lot of The Cure and Baxter Drury lately. I love anything that taps in to my emotion as well as my performative side. What was the first gig you ever went to? Grace Jones at Electric Picnic in 2015. She blew my mind and kind of changed everything. What a phenomenal performer. I distinctly remember the crowd waiting and waiting in anticipation, the curtains finally opened on stage and she was standing on this huge platform wearing something amazing. The definition of a star. I remember leaving the stage thinking to myself – did that just happen? What was the first record you ever bought? As far as I can remember it was a Gorillaz record (Demon Days). My Dad used to play it on tape in his van when it first came out. I remember it being the first record that fully took me in. What's your favourite song right now? At the moment it's Genius of Love by Tom Tom Club. I was in New York earlier this year and heard it playing out loud in a restaurant. It's been stuck in my head since. Favourite lyric of all time? "I wish I didn't miss you anymore" - Wish I Didn't Miss You by Angie Stone. It's such a beautiful song and lyric and the way she sang it was just so striking. What a great voice she had. If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be? Raindrops by Basement Jaxx. I love their music and the way the records are always so busy. It's a really unique production style that you don't really find often. Where can people find your music/more information? On Spotify as i n n e r l i z z a r d s. Instagram. Alan Corr

‘We want to stop in our prime': Saint Etienne on their final album and why pop is a dying art
In St Etienne , it is usually Bob Stanley who suggests the band's tightly defined album concepts. What if you graft folk melodies to dance music ? Make vaporwave about early New Labour? While finishing ambient pop album The Night, released in the dark of last winter, Stanley pitched an even starker one for its successor: the end of their band. 'I didn't think I was saying anything uncomfortable or shocking,' says Stanley, affable and understated, in a park near his Bradford home. 'When you've known each other for so long you have a psychic thing anyway. It felt like we would all agree.' I meet Pete Wiggs and Sarah Cracknell in a London bar, separate from Stanley – no falling out, they assure me, simply living as they do across Yorkshire, East Sussex and Oxfordshire is a scheduling nightmare. Wiggs couches his thoughts about Stanley's proposition carefully. 'Once I got used to it, I thought it was a great idea. We've not split up acrimoniously, and have some control over it.' International, out in September, will be the final St Etienne album. Bringing together collaborators including Nick Heyward, Xenomania, Erol Alkan and the Chemical Brothers – who appear on the fizzing and life-affirming new single Glad – the album is a strictly-bangers leaving party for one of the most singular bands in British indie. Few albums are likely to contain rave hedonists Confidence Man and severe cult broadcaster Jonathan Meades, who provides text for the album's sleeve. 'I wanted to finish our album journey on a high,' says Cracknell. 'Do something really special and stop in our prime.' READ MORE Saint Etienne: Bob Stanley, Sarah Cracknell and Pete Wiggs. Photograph: Paul Kelly Stanley remembers a time in pop when most groups did finish, powering pop's forward motion. He argues that it has slowed, pointing to the decade it took for the hyperpop music on the PC Music record label – which he adored – to reach the mainstream on Charli XCX 's Brat last year. That type of underground-to-overground travel 'used to happen all the time, and it would take 18 months', says Stanley. Pop is 'clearly nowhere near as important as it used to be – we might as well be talking about jazz or modern classical, where there's great music but it's not really adding much [to culture]. But music wasn't that important before the 1920s, either.' Like St Etienne themselves, 'these things don't last forever'. What about the current crop of exciting women pop stars? Stanley praises 'the look, the sound, the artwork' of the 'properly great' Charli, Lana Del Rey and Sabrina Carpenter . But he maintains that 'music's just not as central to people's identities' as it was. If that sounds like a controversial position, he has others. 'I hate Glastonbury ,' he says. 'Can't stand it. A single setting for all kinds of music feels entirely wrong to me.' Stanley has always been opinionated about music. 'I loved Grease,' remembers Wiggs of his early teens growing up alongside Stanley in Croydon. 'Even then, Bob was telling me it was nothing on the original 50s stuff.' Later, the pair set up fanzines Pop Avalanche and Caff, but the indie music they covered became 'very dreary', Stanley says. 'When house and techno came along it was like, 'Oh, this is it.'' [ Forbidden Fruit 2025: daily line-ups, stage times, ticket information, weather forecast and more Opens in new window ] Neither of them were musicians, but radical, sample-heavy singles by UK producers Bomb the Bass and S'Express convinced them they didn't need to be. Though Wiggs later studied for a film music degree, Stanley wears his inability to play an instrument as 'an asset' – if he could play Chopin, he argues, his instincts as a pop fan might have diminished. Composer and orchestrator David Whitaker, who worked on their 1994 album Tiger Bay, saw his potential and offered him piano lessons. 'Lovely bloke,' remembers Stanley, 'but I was like, I really actually think I don't want to learn.' Besides, 'nobody ever asks Pet Shop Boys if they can play the piano'. Sarah Cracknell of St Etienne performing in London in 2016. Photograph: Robin Little/Redferns Learning songwriting on the job meant that their first single was a cover. Only Love Can Break Your Heart was a thrilling land-grab of Neil Young 's 1970 original, at once faster and slower with brisk house pianos and languid dub reggae. The pair's plan was to have rotating singers, in that case indie singer Moira Lambert, and down the pub they casually signed to friend Jeff Barrett's new Heavenly Recordings, who released the single in May 1990. Cracknell heard the single and loved it. Born to a showbiz Windsor family (her mother, Julie Samuel, was an Avengers star, her father, Derek Cracknell, Kubrick's recurring first assistant director), teenage Cracknell was galvanised by indie band Felt's shambling melancholy and spent the 1980s 'getting close to a record deal' with various bands. But she had given up, and was enrolled in drama school when Stanley's girlfriend suggested her for a featured vocal. 'I liked that she didn't sing with an American accent,' says Stanley of his first impressions, 'which then was unusual.' The producer who mixed the track, Brian Higgins, offered them a demo that they turned down: it became Believe by Cher. 'We'd probably be living in solid gold houses now,' says Stanley. But what attracted Cracknell to them? 'They had the 1960s, dance music and melancholy,' she smiles. Stanley and Wiggs asked Cracknell to become the group's sole, permanent singer, and the newly minted trio recorded debut Foxbase Alpha in the Mitcham council house of producer Ian Catt's parents. Using samples from bygone British pop and TV – there were too many legal challenges to US samples at the time – the album was powered by a tension between pop's past and present that would become a very St Etienne mix, packed with shout-outs to the city they had just moved to. 'I was always scared of London, growing up in Croydon,' says Stanley, who remembers marvelling over exotic neighbourhood names such as Shacklewell and Haggerston. 'This was when all the districts were very different from each other.' The trio explored London through its Irish pubs and Portuguese cafes, 'pie and mash shops, old London things'. That geography was all over their 1993 masterpiece So Tough, with trip-hop and wide-eyed symphonic pop bathed in bright echo – as if recalling a radio show from last night's dream. [ The Music Quiz: Which Queen song recently broke one billion streams on Spotify? Opens in new window ] They argue that they used success to do what pop fans, rather than what Stanley views as their more tribal indie peers, would prioritise, like releasing a Christmas single or wearing gold lamé suits on the telly. 'We were all quite hedonistic,' Cracknell says of those years, 'but maybe that's why we stayed together? We used to go out to clubs a lot.' This led to remixes by Andrew Weatherall and Autechre. 'We went to watch Bonfire Night fireworks in Highbury with Aphex Twin,' remembers Stanley, after visiting the elusive producer at his flat to commission a remix. Despite inviting a nascent Oasis to support them – Stanley had met Noel Gallagher as a roadie, and they all loved the band's Live Forever demo – they avoided being dubbed Britpop, which Stanley today terms 'nationalistic' and 'the absolute antithesis' of their project. The pounding Eurodance of 1995's He's On the Phone protested against that era's guitars, and became their biggest hit. The producer who mixed the track, Brian Higgins, offered them a demo that they turned down: it became Believe by Cher . 'We'd probably be living in solid gold houses now,' says Stanley. Recording International was low on drama – 'because we're English', says Stanley – until final song The Last Time, written as a farewell to each other and their loyal audience Reinventing for Y2K, they decamped to Berlin with glitchy electronic trio To Rococo Rot, who teased them about indulgences such as changing chords. They dialled down the bleeps and thuds of the city's club scene, resulting in their subtle and slept-on album Sound of Water. Its second single, Heart Failed, bitterly surveyed New Labour Britain and its market-driven urban regeneration: 'Sold the ground to a PLC / Moved the club out to Newbury / Sod the fans and their families.' That flattened culture was explored again in the 2005 documentary St Etienne made with film-maker Paul Kelly about East London's desolate Lower Lea Valley before it disappeared to Olympic development. Throughout their career, Stanley is proud that St Etienne got 'no bigger or smaller' in the size of venues they played, and cites Bob Dylan and Prince as role models for staying true to oneself. They all credit their decision to swear off long tours as key to longevity. 'How the hell do people do this?' Stanley remembers thinking after even a relatively brisk jaunt. 'That, and we've all got complimentary personalities,' says Wiggs. 'No horrific egos,' agrees Cracknell. More recently, 2021's I've Been Trying to Tell You used the melancholic vaporwave genre to examine late-90s nostalgia (they were disappointed that no one worked out that its track names were all horses that won on the day of Labour's 1997 landslide). By the time of The Night, Stanley was suffering sleepless nights raising a small child while Wiggs and Cracknell were fretting about older children leaving home. The drizzly, downbeat album contained spoken word from Cracknell mourning the 'energy and belief' of their 20s and was provisionally titled Tired Dad. They were 'talking to people of a similar vintage to us, and being honest about it', says Wiggs. Recording International was low on drama – 'because we're English', says Stanley – until final song The Last Time, written as a farewell to each other and their loyal audience. 'I found it very difficult to get through singing it without crying,' says Cracknell, whose confiding and soulful vocals have arguably been St Etienne's greatest asset. 'It was the last song we recorded for the album, and the realisation really hit me.' Outside the project that has consumed them for three decades, Wiggs is working on a film soundtrack, Stanley is writing more books (he has already written two door-stopping histories of pop music), and the two will continue their celebrated archival pop compilations for reissue label Ace Records. Cracknell winces that she has 'not thought past the end of 2025', which makes her anxious. Is there a risk their end might not be permanent? 'I don't think there is,' says Stanley, who is looking forward to meeting his bandmates and their families without talking shop. Wiggs and Cracknell's kids are, they tell me proudly, 'like cousins'. Cracknell, an only child, was 'always collecting siblings' – until St Etienne. Asked what she is most proud of, it is not their 13 albums or Top of the Pops appearances, but their friendship. 'That we have such a bond between the three of us,' she says, looking out now to the bar's exit. 'And that will never go.' – The Guardian International by St Etienne will be released by Heavenly Recordings in September.
