Nimmo
Childhood friends Sarah Nimmo and Reva Gauntlett (aka NIMMO) may just prove to be top of the class when it comes to gay female singers
WORDS: GILES HATTERSLEY
THE NEW GIRL
I HATE TO KICK OFF WITH A REPROACH but I can’t help feeling that we have a bad habit of dropping the ball when it comes to gay women making incredible music.
Sure, plenty of people love St. Vincent (not least her girlfriend Cara Delevingne) but generally when it comes to squealing endorsements, have we perhaps spent more time in the past decade cooing over a ragbag of former reality TV contestants who never got passed a first single than we have the more interesting and varied array of homosexual musical women out there?
Never mind though, because in the past few months the band on everybody’s lips has been Nimmo.
You can always tell a group has genuine buzz when a music geek friend, that scarily well-dressed kid in the office, and a random family member all rave about them in quick succession. Nimmo? Check, check and check.
