Totally Random



4Music brings you some totally random facts and, if we're honest, the odd bit of speculation about Florence and the Machine...



Florence is known as Flo to her friends



The colourful singer quotes her Dad as her biggest influence



If she had to go back in time Florence would try out the decadent 1920s



The fiery redhead describes herself as a ‘real geek’ and loves reading



It’s rumoured that Florence was discovered singing in a nightclub toilet – so there’s hope for all of us then!



On hearing she’d won the Critics Choice BRIT Award she said “Blimey a BRIT Award wowtheworldsgoneweird” and about attending the awards “I'll be the one trying to get off with Katy Perry and passed out next to Leona Lewis.”



Her Mum would rather she was at University or got a ‘real job’ (sound familiar?)



The style icon takes a trunk of clothes on tour, previously full of charity shop and vintage, but fame now means it also includes a designer freebie or two



Florence writes her best songs when she’s drunk or has a hangover



‘The Machine’ is flexible – it can be just Florence and a drum kit or a piano, but right now it’s a seven-piece band



The fearless eccentric’s energetic stage performances have included diving into a paddling pool and crowd surfing in a chain-mail dress (ouch!).
