The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra....

About Me

I don't usually like talking about myself much but here goes.....Firstly, I am NOT a dj (although given the equipment I wouldn't mind having a go!), this was a nickname given to me by friends when I was a lot younger which has just kinda stuck due to my love of music. I have a passion for music and can't go anywhere without my MP3 player. My friends have always said my epitaph will be 'She compiled a tape' because in my youth (and, shock horror, before cd's were invented) that's all I ever did! I grew up listening to the likes of Abba and sometimes John Denver from my mum and The Rolling Stones from my dad. I also used to play the flute when I was at school but never got round to having guitar lessons from my dad (he was in a band called The Halons back in the 60's/70's). I'm usually very laid back and a romantic but I am also a secret born worrier and a perfectionist. My favourite things include crisp autumn sunny mornings, music and that cosy feeling you get when you get into a freshly made bed. I have a good sense of humour and, like all virtuous (cough)'young' women, am all for world peace! Blimey, that wasn't too bad once I got going :) x

Delays at the Aftershow in Sankeys, Manchester

Well what can I say, the guys were brilliant once again! Having been before, I was a bit disappointed with the venue this time. The sound was way too loud, my left ear drum still hurts a bit, and the ...
