T in the Park review: Nina Nesbitt, King Tut’s tent
By the look of things, the Scottish-Swedish singer-songwriter has long since come of age, handling the occasion of her second T In The Park appearance with precocious confidence.
Her young fans - the more ardent among them are called Nesbians - are cast under the Edinburgh-born Nesbitt’s spell for the duration of her short but punchy set. Chirpy songs about ex-boyfriends, changeable Scottish weather (she concedes that Brit Summer isn’t an appropriate song choice, but urges people to pretend that it’s raining outside anyway) and everyday teen dilemmas are met by unanimous shrieks of delight.
