Karen Louise who hails from Welwyn
NAMED after celebrated singer Karen Carpenter, a 25-year-old performer from Welwyn has had a lot to live up to.

Last Wednesday Karen Louise came a step closer to superstardom as she took to the stage at the Hammersmith Apollo.

The former Stanborough School pupil has been supporting ex Blue member Simon Webbe on his UK tour throughout May and June.

Karen said: "Simon Webbe is one of those guys that when you hear his music you can't help but smile.

"It is a complete honour to be supporting one of the best guys in British pop."

This wasn't Karen's first taste of touring. Last year she joined X Factor finalists Journey South on their huge 38-date tour.

Karen's debut single was released when she was 22 and was a big hit on the club scene.

Her latest release Falling is out on Monday. Describing the song Louise said: "Falling is about feeling good and having fun.

"It's an anthem for anyone who has experienced the rush of falling in love, when your heart rules your head.
