Singer plays intimate venue to celeb packed audience

Santogold kicked her UK tour off in style tonight (May 12) with a performance at London's intimate Old Blue Last pub.

Flanked by two back up dancers and a DJ, the singer formerly known as Santi White played a set featuring songs from her self titled debut.

Opening with the remix of 'You'll Find A Way' her set included recent single 'L.E.S Artistes'.

She gave a shout out to MIA producer Diplo (who was in the crowd) before she played their collaboration 'Unstoppable'.

"London,it's so hot here- I might not make it through the set. You guys hate air conditioning right?" she joked with the crowd.

She closed the set with a banging version of 'Creator' which got the crowd jumping up and down.

Watching her at the Levi's OnesToWatch gig were Mark Ronson and Kaiser Chiefs Ricky Wilson.

She played:

'You'll Find A Way'(remix)
'L.E.S Artistes'
'Say Aha'
'Starstruck'
'Anne'
'Shove It'
'Unstoppable'
'Creator'
