Gabrielle used to live in the same town as me. I once saw her parking her car in a street not too far from where I live and she was apparently a close friend of my sister's best friend's mother. Now Professor Green is moving in at the end of my street.
As far as British music goes, this is the only artist worth listening to today. A band that is still rockin' after 36 years and has outsold all of the artist you have mentioned. The name of the band is Def Leppard.
