Gabriella Cilmi

Hello there little monster, what are you up to?

I am launching the Indesit Party Laundrette today and then off to complete the Inca Trail next week, busy times!

And if we didn’t have any clue as to who you were, what three words sum you up?


Music, tears and love

And as Jacko had the Moonwalk and Elvis had the snake hips, what do you have that makes you unique?


The hair flick, it’s a very important part of my performance

Now, clearly we need to get to know each other more, so tell me an interesting fact about you that no one else knows?

This is a bit gross but I like to drink red wine vinegar and lemon juice straight from a glass.

What song do you wish you’d written?

Teardrops by massive attack, I never grow board of that tune

If I was contemplating coming to your show or sitting at home and TV, how would you convince me to come out?


If you like raw hair flipping and Donna Summer meets Susie Quarto music come out to play

And if you were to take me on a trip to your hometown, what would be the first place we’d go?


I don’t get home to Oz that often, but if we did I would take you to my grandma’s house to get a massive bowl of pasta. She makes the best Italian.

Who was the last person you called / text and what for?

I text my drummer to see how he was feeling, we all went out last night and are feeling a bit delicate today.

If you were a superhero, what would be your superpower?


I would have spaghetti shooting out of my fingers so I could feed everyone

If you had to date a member of the same sex who would it be?

Penolope Cruz, she is fabulous

What was the last thing you bought?

Chewing gum, I’m totally addicted

Have you ever been arrested?

I have never been arrested, but before I turned 18 I was playing a gig at an over age venue and the local police sergeant rang my parents to report me. I wasn’t charged as I wasn’t even drinking just singing!
 
Speaking of prison - if you were to send someone to prison for crimes against music, who would it be?

‘Especially for you’ by Kylie and Jason Donovan, I love Kylie but that song drives my absolutely crazy.

What were you doing last night at 11?


I was watching a gig in East London with my band and some friends
