A hot opening night party hosted by White Cube at cool Basel eatery Acqua was graced by an acoustic set from pop-songstress Paloma Faith. She had support from her young charge Josh Weller, who she refers to sweetly as an “ice cream troll” on account of his enormous, spiky up-cut shock of hair. Headliner Faith, who was born in Hackney in east London, has an MA in theatre design but found her voice fronting a 50s cabaret/rock cover band called Paloma and the Penetrators. They’ve gone on without her to become the Fabulous Penetrators, while she got “faith” and her own record deal.
