Kate Nash left breathless by Isle of Wight set

The singer exhausts herself with a fiery performance in the sunshine

Kate Nash has played the Isle of Wight Festival this afternoon (June 14).

Opening with an explosive 'Pumpkin Soup', Nash, looking fetching in a polka dot dress, put in a lively performance which often left her breathless between songs.

After bouncing, and eventually screaming, her way through 'Skeleton', an exhausted Nash declared: 'Fuck!'

'Mouthwash' and then 'Foundations' naturally brought a huge roar from the crowd, but an extended 'Don't You Want To Share The Guilt?' was perhaps the highlight of a memorable set in the sunshine.

Kate Nash played:

'Pumpkin Soup'
'Shit Song'
'We Get On'
'Birds'
'Skeleton'
'Mariella'
'Mouthwash'
'Foundations'
'Don't You Want To Share The Guilt?'
'Merry Happy'
