In the beginning

About Me

Films and movies are a big influence on my music, I love old film scores, gramophone players and scratchy 78s.
I guess you could say i'm a typical girl. Some days Im feeling modern Tarantino, other days Im feeling like an old Francis Lai. Sometimes im hitting on Tom Waits and other times I'm running into the arms of Burt Bacharach. I guess you could say I'm an incurable romantic.
INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT ME:
I cannot blow bubblegum
My favourite colour is pink with little gold stars.
If I wasnt doing this I would be working in a cake shop
My first job was working in a cake shop
My first guitar was pink
I bought my second guitar off an old alcoholic in East London who was cashing it in for the next fix.
My second guitar got run over by a car three weeks ago
I used to have a really short bowlcut
I can rollerskate (but I can't go backwards)
I live my life in technicolor but without the MGM lion
My brother thinks I'm weird.
This is my Wonderland. I like playing on my swing. I like chickens and ducks and hulahooping and bike riding and i like trees and grass and old Super 8 cameras. I also like baking cakes and dreaming in the sunshine.
WONDERLAND ..
There is a big cornfield near me. It is beautiful and scary at the same time. I wrote a song recently and put a set of photos to it. I'm a big fan of things like Stepford Wives, Wickerman, sci-fi and fantasy. Strange things always seem to happen on a normal summer's day.
IN THE RAIN I LIKE TO SING..
