Upcoming songwriter Findlay has spoken of how she took a punch for Jake Bugg while supporting the new solo star in Newcastle recently.

Speaking in today’s Sun, Findlay tells the story of a drinking session which continued into the small hours and resulted in one Irish fan becoming a touch uncontrollable.

“We were having a late one up in Newcastle,” she says. “The mini-bar was getting hammered and it went on until 5am. An Irish girl was totally out of control. She’d had her arse out and everything. It kicked off and I got in the middle of it and took a punch for Jake. He owes me.”

Natalie Findlay will be a part of the Manchester leg of this year’s XFM Winter Wonderland at the city’s Apollo venue on December 4th, when Spector, Everything Everything, Maximo Park and Delphic are also set to appear. The twin London event will be headlined by Bloc Party.
