The 12 date tour starts tonight in Manchester – you still have the chance to catch one of these special performances, tickets are available from HERE.

You can also check out this performance and interview VV did for Konbini to give you a taste of the VV experience.HERE

As well as performing live, VV has also been busy being creative in other ways. Ctrl.Alt.Shift Unmasks Corruption - VV has contributed her skills to an amazing Comic Book Anthology with some of the best-known comic book writers as well as writers better known for other things, such as musician Lightspeed Champion. The Experimental youth initiative Ctrl.Alt.Shift brought together an eclectic mix of politicized comic book and graphic novel work in a bid to politicise a new generation of activists through the medium of popular comic culture. An Exhibition of the works can be viewed at Soho’s Lazarides Gallery from 6 – 28 November. See The Guardian article HERE.

Since then other Oxjam events, organised by members of the public, have been taking place up and down the country - from a world record breaking 17 hour continuous freestyle rap in Cardiff, to heavenly gospel choirs in Leicester.

There are only a few days left of Oxfam's month of music dedicated to fighting poverty, so get on the website, check out the video of V V at the launch gig and take a look at other Oxjam events that are happening near you.

The set is called 'My Inspiration' and features cover versions by current artists of songs from the artists that have inspired them to get where they are today.

It features contributions from James Morrison, Stereophonics and Girls Aloud, so V V is in good company as she adds to the mix a unique version of Gwen Guthrie's classic 'Padlock'!

If you want to make your V V collection complete, then you can buy the album from any of HMV's 280 stores or online from HMV.com.

Well, an expert panel last week narrowed the 500 entrants down to a shortlist of 5, and thousands of Metro readers voted to crown The Stow the winners of the MEmusic and Nissan QASHQAI's Online and Ontour competition!

"It took a while to sink in but we're absolutely ecstatic with the result" said band member Will Brown. "To get this opportunity to tour with such a fantastic artist could really open doors for us and hopefully take our career to the next level. We're over the moon."

V V's 'Travelling Like The Light' tour will soon be arriving in a town near you, with The Stow coming along for the ride, so if you haven't already, get your tickets here.
