Paloma's concert came almost four years to the day since she headlined Newmarket Nights at the racecourse back in 2018.

The 40-year-old burst onto the scene in the late 2000s with the release of her debut album Do You Want the Truth or Something Beautiful?, and delighted gig-goers with favourites such as New York and Upside Down.
