I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a lady singer who lives in Glasgow, I used to live in my home on whore island but i got lost and couldn't find my way back. So now I just sing in the hope that one day my fellow whore islanders will hear my voice over the waves and come and rescue me. NB. Since I wrote this, a handsome architect dude has asked me to marry him and I have said yes yes yes. Result!

My Interests

I like playing my melodica - sometimes bands let me play my melodica during a gig!. Same goes with playing my guitar - but I am not very good. I also like to dance to the disco music, travelling to far off places, collecting vintage dresses, bowling, playing fusball, watching comedy films, sci fi films, horror films. I like the opera. I like my job. I want to go to Nashville one day. I wish I could play the banjo.
