WE SAY

We've never heard an 18 year old from Yorkshire sound this cool before. Peter Grant is a singer and pianist with vocal talent and taste beyond his years. The crisp voice and the good looks bode well, but it's the treatment of this Scott Walker classic that excites us. Positive responses to tracks from his debut album on Des & Mel and Elaine Paige's Radio 2 show also mean his career is off to the best possible start. London showcase: Tonight at Cafe de Paris, W1
