Music:
Am concentrating on a simple money making music project for now - A guitar based pub duo - BAD HABITS. I'm a rock and blues vocalist in the main. Have fronted the usual rock covers bands but have also been in a punk band in my youth; a big cabaret Commitments type outfit and was a Cher tribute for a short while! Plus I'm a secret songwriter.
My own musical taste is eclectic but mostly the usual rock stuff. Anyone with a whisky soaked vocal and a surging, electric guitar really. Sabbath, Whitesnake, Cult, Doors, Quireboys, Janis, Stevie Nicks, Patti Smith, Carole King and lots more
Movies:
The Gangster genre - from The Godfather to Blow. The Scarlett Letter. The Princess Bride. Priscilla Queen of the Desert. Under the Tuscan Sun. Stage Beauty. Dracula. Interview With The Vampire. The Doors/Almost Famous/Rock Star(Hysterical)etc. The Butterfly Effect - have a time travel fetish. Barbarella. Clever dystopic sci-fi. German Expressionism purely for its visual presence. Roadhouse, Romcoms & more.
Books:
The Mists of Avalon. The Lady of Hay. June Sasson. Sold. The Bookseller of Khabul. The Handmaids Tale (I have a genuine interest in the role of women within certain cultures) The Kite Runner. Heart Of Darkness. The Godfather. No-One Here Gets Out Alive. Othello. The Poetry of Shelley. Lace & many other classic trashy novels. Harry Potter.
Heroes:
Elen Bresnan my nan. Christine Llewellyn. Anyone hoping to recover from M.E. Anyone who genuinely cares about Animal Welfare.
And all the true rock and roll wastrels that have ever been!!
