Gemma Rogers - No Place Like Home ***

Gemma Rogers’ debut No Place Like Home is packed with pithy vignettes about being young in modern-day London. A partial heir to early Lily Allen, she shares her dry, observational humour and post-punk ska influence. The parallels with Allen’s Alright, Still embrace the messiness of drinking with friends, as she cheerfully confesses in a semi-spoken delivery, ‘My idea of fun, is a whole bottle of rum’.
