Influences: Where do you start? As a child I had a tape of some woman singing ‘The Wheels of the Bus go Round and Round’ in full operatic soprano which I think may have scarred me for life.
As for more recently, I suppose classical and contemporary string music, avant garde vocal music, folksong and electronica are all in there somewhere. I’m also hugely inspired by Cassandra Wilson, Bjork, Tom Waits, Pentangle, e.e. cummings, Ani Difranco, my Elysian Quartet friends, Keith and Julie Tippett, Joni Mitchell, Carol Ann Duffy, Joanna Newsom, PJ Harvey, Seb Rochford, Patti Smith, John Coltrane, kd Lang, Tracey Thorn, Diamanda Galas, Meredith Monk, The Fall, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Nick Cave and many many others. Recently I've been enjoying lots of Captain Beefheart, MIA, Dowland, Devon Sproule, Sly Stone, Hot Chip and early Michael Jackson/Jackson 5. I also been enjoy going to see the Philharmonia Orchestra play old German music and having a good cry. "Wouldn't you just DIE without Mahler..."
