I run the Race for Life for Cancer Research UK every year and i've raised hundreds of pounds so far in my three years of doing it. It's a really good and thought-provoking thing to do.I have done the Nike RunLondon 10km Campaign for the last 2 years, I am sure I can beat the kids still! (anyone want a challenge next sports' day? I had the 1500m school record by the way...15 years ago) There's nothing better than a glass of wine and monopoly at home with friends after a nicely cooked home dinner...My husband spends a lot of time in the kitchen and I love eating it all. Not very rock n'roll now.
Anyone who is not too spooky and wants "to do!!!"
In the Bristol area or around London I don't mind!
Quartets,
DJ's,
chamber ensembles,
singer-songwriters,
Rock bands,
Indie bands
Any ex students who remembers a nice, calm teacher...
... anything experimental or not!
Music is what I do for a living. I play, I teach, I listen endlessly to it. I am never tired of it!
For those that remember the 1980's education programmes, does anyone remember this? Room 101 had me addicted to this!(see blog. You'll have to disable Christina on my profile or you'll get two songs!) Click here to reminisce!
This caught my eye too!
I iPod EVERYTHING...This is no particular order: Bach, Massive Attack, Mozart, Bruch, The Levellers (thanks to my Brother!) Kreisler to Jamiroquai, ooh- BRAHMS VIOLIN CONCERTO! Avril Lavigne, Scissor Sisters, The Prodgy, Bjork, Abba, PWEI, The Frames (Thanks Andy), Telemann, Chilli Peppers, Miri Ben-Ari, Seth Lakeman (Kitty Jay(live), The Bold knight (live) and The Lady of the Sea(Hear her Calling) are well recommended (Wo, amazing fiddle player), The Police, Sting, A-Ha, Nelly Furtado (her old stuff was better), Portishead, Tricky, Radiohead, Basement Jaxx are fun, Ricky Martin, Therapy? Hard-Fi, Sonique (although a little dated now), ooh, Guns n' Roses...and anything I will need to pick up by ear. I love to go to gigs and hear other live bands who are unsigned and are fab to listen to and watch. Better than some of that commercial Pap.
The Shawshank Redemption
The Devil's Advocate
James Bond,Pierce Brosnan was very nice, as is Daniel Craig.
Top Gun (Come on girls, back us up!)
The Incredibles (Edna was brilliant!)
Antz
The X-Men series (surprisingly!)
Hell's Kitchen. It's nice to see that someone cares so deeply about what they do! Passionate about perfection, obsessed in doing a good job and maintaining a standard that they expect. Spooks. Wicked TV show. One problem is they're getting rid of all the nice-looking ones. Father Ted, Faulty Towers and Monty Python always makes me laugh.
Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell, It's not about the Bike by Lance Armstrong (wow,what a guy!), Always Playing by Nigel Kennedy. Also am a big fan of Sevcik op.8 and op.3, Fleish's Das Skalensystem, Fantasias by Telemann...This is confusing as books and music books seem to blend into one... The Suzuki Violinist by William Starr has also inspired me. I am finding out that Mr Suzuki (who's no longer with us, rest in peace) is a phenomenal man.
The old School violinists:
Milstein, Heifetz, Stephane Grappelli, Kreisler
...They don't do violinists like that any more!!!
Rafa Benitez (Being a Liverpool Supporter)
Gordon Ramsay
Jose Mourinho (girls. you understand that one eh?)
Lance Armstrong
Bjork
All those that stand up and are who they are, I loved that Reebok campaign of "I am what I am".
