About Me

I'm just your average girl trying to make a difference in the world - nothing major!!
I fundraise for UNICEF part time, organising events for the Unite for Children, Unite Against AIDs campaign - my last event (organised under my Local Live Music hat- own business) was in October 06 and I had the likes of Dodgy (90's pop band) playing and Radio 1's Normski MCing it for me... it was amazing! I'm going to get onto sorting my next one out (Dec 07) as soon as I've got my new venue, Bar Hoo Haa, up and running. VERY EXCITING!
Other than my music and businessy side, I am interested in photography and fashion. I have representation by a company called Mimo Model Management, based in London, working as a plus size model. This is something I've not had a great amount of time for until now, but is something that I hope to do more of when the other parts of my life ease off a little (...and I get a bit more in shape and toned up again!). There need to be more 'real' women representing fashion - it is too much the case that size 0 is becoming cool. Just punch 'pro-ana' into the search bar above and you'll see what I'm talking about. Scary scary stuff.

Before you goes any further you must watch my sexy buddy Neil strutting his stuff in his new video below. The single is going to be released on 11th June so keep your eyes and ears peeled!! By the way the band is Broken Dolls, the single is Stronger, they are signed to Fatboy Slim's label and are going to be huge, so don't miss out, add them now! (Such a plugger)

My Interests

I love Regina Spektor... this song is beautiful - makes me want to cry...

Get this video and more at MySpace.com

I'd like to meet:

Loads of gorgeous people - inside and out... preferably people with something interesting to say!! Anyone with a good sense of humour or old friends I've lost touch with.

MUSIC:
Singer/songwriters that are interested in playing at Bar Hoo Haa (opening this Summer) and promoters keen to set up a regular slot please go to www.myspace.com/locallive and/or www.myspace.com/barhoohaa and add accordingly.

Music:

This scene represents two things - 1) my favourite piece of music ever and 2) one of my favourite films 'Scent of a Woman'. Al Pacino is fantastic. I love him!

These three bands are in my sights at the moment - Gone Wrong Robot, The Unknownn and the Wire Daisies - check them all out by clicking the images below. For the time being The Unknownn image takes you to Spread Radio Live's poll- please go there are vote for them (for me, I'll love you forever)... you don't need to register or anything - it's so easy it's silly!

Apart from these three bands my tastes are quite varied... Tracy Chapman, Peter Gabriel, Pink, Phil Collins, RHCP, The Killers, The Fray, The View, Kaiser Chiefs, The Guild, Broken Dolls, Nerina Pallot, Ray Lamontagne, Nina Simone, Billie Holliday, Aerosmith (off to see them in June! Wooo!), Pink Floyd, Paul Simon, Paul Weller, Anthony and the Johnsons, The Feeling, Counting Crows, Floetry, Hard-Fi, James Morrison, Kelis, Kings of Leon, Morcheeba, Oasis, Razorlight, Roxette (ooh, nostalgia), Shawn Colvin, Ani Di Franco, Gnarls Barkley etc etc etc...

Movies:

My vice... mmmmm... I love films... in fact, my favourite hobby of all time is buying new DVDs... the inital snap as you open the case and click out the disc... I think my collection lies currently at about 350! Ooops, big spender! No, I am not going to list them all... don't panic.

My favourites are probably: One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, Hotel Rwanda, City of God, Labyrinth, An Inconvenient Truth, Ghost, The Slipper and the Rose, The Peacock Garden, The Phantom of the Opera, Revolver etc etc.

Television:

I'm a definite fan of Benders, also love Dragons Den. Watching the new series of Shipwrecked quite avidly - I think it's got more to do with my current obsession with a holiday than anything else though ... those white sandy palm fringed beaches... mmmmm - I want to be there!

Books:

Just finished the Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield after looking at it sitting on my bookshelves for years!! Also like Labyrinth by Kate Mosse, any Patricia Cornwell forensic style books, The Dark Materials Trilogy by Philip Pullman, The Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman, The Tao of Pooh and the Te of Piglet by Benjamin Hoff... in fact double letters in authors names seem a good sign... ha ha. I'm also very excited because a friend of mine, Lucie Whitehouse, has just had her first advance as a published author and was able to give up her job as a literary agent in London. Her first book The House at Midnight will be on shelves early 2008. Well done Lu!

Heroes:

Above all my my mum
