About Me

My name is Ally, I'm 20 and I'm currently at southampton uni studying medicine! It's pretty hard, but bloody interesting. Only 5 years until I am Dr Ally Munro, that is major respect!! I love music, playing it, listening to it whatever. I love all types of music from rock, to jazz, to classical. I'm a Christian and I go to church every week, and funnily enough I actually love it! I like to dance like no ones watching, to sniff flowers in the dew, and all that other crap girls say they like in a man. Honest! Jesters is simultaneously the best and worst place in the world.

My Interests

I play guitar a lot, and play a bit of piano and drums. I listen to music A LOT, see below! I'm a worship leader at my church at home, and I help out with the youth club and other stuff my church runs as much as I can! I play for the medics football team, and I'm a member of Pimms o clock soc and SHA soc baby!! I love to ski more than there are any words to describe.

I'd like to meet:

Eddie Vedder, Richie Kotzen, Ben Folds, Daron Rahlves and Jennifer Aniston.

Music:

ooh, lets see...pearl jam, sufjan stevens, mew, counting crows, damien rice, jeff buckley, ryan adams, Ben Folds, interpol, dave weckl band, dave mathews band, norah jones, radiohead, bright eyes, NYJO, the roots, the beastie boys, eva cassidy, scott joplin, debussy, shostakovich, charlie christian, buzz feitin, weezer, coldplay, U2, the prodigy, miles davis, mumm-ra, richie kotzen, the cure, beck, alistiar cowan, ed harcourt, duke ellington, george shearing, unhome, chemical brothers, bjork, imogen heap, sigur ros, breakestra, modest mouse, cathey davey, lifehouse, b.b king, yellow ledbelly, jamie cullum and quite a few others.

Television:

I don't watch much tele, but i do watch a lot of Scrubs(best programme ever) the OC, Friends, some music television, the skiing world cup whenever its on, and neighbours religiously. My day honestly revolves around neighbours.

Bands I have seen, and my opinions there-on

Counting Crows - Musically and visually stunning, put on an impressive show, if a bit less intimate and honest than I was expecting. The fact they opened with the only 2 songs of theirs I hate, ...
