I love to write, read, socialise and dance about a lot to a variety of music. I follow the footy, and am proud to be a Canaries fan... ahem.
Anyone and everyone - mainly anyway! :)
A somewhat eclectic mix... My main interest is in folk (which is what I wrote my dissertation on), some country-folk (ok, some plain country, but the good stuff I swear), but I love my rock and roll, blues, soul, reggae... And pop actually. My favourite band are the Beatles, and I have a tattoo of 'let it be' on my back. If I start to list my favourite artists we'll be here forever, but John Stewart (for he be THE man), Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Bruce Springsteen, James Taylor, Cat Stevens, Richard Thompson and all the Fairport Convention stuff, Jackson Browne, Sarah McLachlan, Leonard Cohen, Nanci Griffiths, Joni Mitchell, Tom Waits, Carole King, Stephen Fretwell, Edwina Hayes, Blue, Oasis, Radiohead, Portishead, Pendulum, Prodigy, The Pretenders, Snow Patrol. Razorlight, the Editors, Kooks... there's so many more it's silly.
I have baaaaaaaad taste in films, I love the romcoms, I love anything that makes you feel all warm inside ;) 10 Things I Hate About You, Dirty Dancing, P&P, Notting Hill, ah yes. And childlishly funny films, like Austin Powers and American Pie. In terms of something of masterpiece merit, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is an amazing film. And copious amounts of pornography.
Friends, Ally McBeal, Peep Show, the mighty boosh, the Office, Scrubs, Black Books! And Neighbours... obsessively.(There would appear to be no radio slot... How times move on. However I love Just a Minute and Home Truths, I used to love the Archers-but have seen the error of my ways. I feel I may have been brainashed as a child into loving Radio Four)
Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte, weirdly everyone loves a bit of Heathcliffe. Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen, The Wrong Boy - Willy Russell, and I love Ben Elton, though he lost his 'fingers up' appeal lately. Ooh, The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams - legend. George Orwell in general. Oscar Wilde... the list goes on...
My Grandparents - all four of them. My parents too. In terms of famous people, there'd be an obvious answer, George Harrison is a genius and a legend.
