She crashed out the guitar chords like a born rocker.

And with Ringo Starr for a grandfather, that's exactly what Tatia Starkey is.

This is Ringo's 22-year-old granddaughter pictured for the first time on stage playing bass in her fledgling band,Belakiss.

Her father is Ringo's son Zak Starkey, sometime drummer for The Who and Oasis.

But Tatia, who uses the stage name Veronica Avant, is clearly no slavish follower of family tradition.

After seeing her father's drumming forever compared unfavourably to her grandfather's, she wisely decided to become a guitarist.

Before playing at the Barfly venue in Camden, North London, at the weekend, Tatia told how Zak, now 42, tried to teach her piano as a child, but she would get bored and run away.
