Music, live performance of many kinds; art, swimming, reading, making connections; life
Creative people with a passion for life, music and chocolate!
Far, far, far too many to mention. You could start with - Is it original? Is it good? Has it got a saxophone on it?! Does it make the back of my neck tingle?
Current faves include Andi Neate, Camille O'Sullivan, Samba Sene & Diwan, Shameless, Death Star 4, Voces del Sur... which covers dark n sexy cabaret, afrobeat, grungey rock, Latin grooves. And they're my clients so I have to listen to them :-D (it's also why they're my clients!)
Then there's swamp, punk, blues, jazz, world, some classical... and the undefinable - honourable mentions to Nick Cave, Van Morrison, Tom Waits, Dr John, the Clash, Springsteen, Janis, Bessie, Billie, Nina Simone, Satchmo, Bob D, Amy Winehouse, Lou Reed... the list changes constantly.
My favourite is watching it live, especially in a small space (with enough room for dancing) where you can see the sweat!
