Paolo Nutini - Rewind
Nutini grew up hanging out and later working in the shop but was always surrounded by music. His grandfather - commemorated in the elegiac 'Autumn' on the album - played him Scottish folk songs by the Corries, exposure to '50s rock'n'roll came via his father's love of the Drifters, and amongst an aunt's record collection he found a Ray Charles album, which began his love of classic soul.
When the opportunity arose to tour the UK as a roadie for a friends band, Paolo quit school in Glasgow and the die was cast. After moving to London, he performed regularly at the Bedford in Balham, later signing to Atlantic Records shortly after his 18th birthday
