There's something rather brave about Lily Allen getting on stage sober for the first time in her touring life. Not exactly the stuff of rock and roll mythology, but definitely more honest. What strikes us is her observation about performing someone from her own past, which speaks to how much the last couple of years have clearly shifted things for her. It's a reminder that sometimes the most rock and roll thing an artist can do is turn up as themselves, rather than who they used to be. For Cledvibes listeners who've followed her journey, this West End Girl tour might be the closest thing yet to hearing the real Lily Allen, stones unturned.
