About Me

Create your own at MyNiceSpace.comJam Ally Entertainment SA has been running successfully for the last 5 years. We are booking agents for all genres of entertainment and one of the things we love to do is conceptualise a theme and tailor a show for corporate events. There's nothing nicer than hand-picking a bunch of entertainers and throwing them together to create something awesome!On a personal level, I lead quite a frenetic life running around trying to get musicians to gigs on time, and keeping them away from the clients. My hours are just stuffed. I don't know when to sleep, so I seldom do. I spend a lot of time around musicians and other performers, and they aren't normal people. I think it might be rubbing off on me. In my spare time (what's that) I have friends who throw me off mountains and out of planes. They put me on horses, they make me drink too much zambucca - I reckon a little bit of what you fancy does you good, yes?

My Interests

Animals, the bush, music, horse-riding, researching prosthetics, the sea, reading, singing, writing, drinking zambucca :)

I'd like to meet:

Miriam Makeba; Peter o'Toole; my guardian angel (to say thanks...)

Music:

I sing in a girl duo called "Sounds Fabulous" (I guess that's relative to how much you drink, hehe.) Love blues, swing jazz, Bonnie Raitt (awesome), Stevie Nicks, Melissa Etheridge, David Gray, Edith Piaff, Indigo Girls, Toxic Shame, Zim Ngqawana, Johnny Clegg, and African rhythms.

Movies:

I wait for them to come out on DVD - action, horror, drama, thriller and animated, my favourite.

Television:

Adore my TV :)

Books:

Lots and lots, currently reading Skalligrigg, & Women Who Run With the Wolves.

Heroes:

Mahatma Gandi, Nelson Mandela, Mirium Makeba, Bonnie Raitte, Stevie Nicks, the paramedics who pulled me out my car, my mother, Courage the Cowardly Dog, and my Jack Russell.
