I've been a journalist for as long as I can remember, which is a pretty long time. I started out on this illustrious career path writing articles for a mod magazine at the tender age of 15 before landing a wee column in a local newspaper, the News Letter. From there, I progressed to the heady heights of the Belfast Telegraph, as a news reporter. Things have kinda come full circle now and after 10 odd years as a roving reporter, am back writing music again. I hope some day to be the paper's first female editor so I can kick a few male butts!! I'm also a qualified drama teacher, or as some would say, qualified drama queen. I'm a typical Piscean, creative, emotional and affectionate, in the right situation. I'm also a monkey in the Chinese zodiac, which is just about right, cheeky, sociable and fun-loving.

My Interests

Gym, going to gigs, travelling, fashion,

I'd like to meet:

Lost's Josh Holloway, cos he's beautiful or Michael Ballack (cos I fancy him not cos I support Chelsea!). I've already met a few of my heroes, Weller, Ian Brown and Steve Marriott before he died in a house fire. I should choose something worthy, but I'd be lying! I'd really love to meet a single, sexy, guitarist with dark hair who resembles Serge from Kasabian. Know anyone?

Music:

The Killers, Arcade Fire, Muse, Fratelli's, Primal Scream, Stone Roses, The Who, The Jam, Small Faces, Razorlight, The Kinks, Kasabian, Oppenheimer, Kharma 45, The Black Tokens, The Jane Bradfords, Maximo Park, Arctic Monkeys, Little Man Tate.

Movies:

Betty Blue, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Way We Were, The Black Narcissus, Shawshank Redemption, It's A Wonderful Life, Quadrophenia, Casablanca, Roman Holiday

Television:

Lost, Lost and more Lost. Cop shows like Prime Suspect, The Bill, Taggart (I wanted to be a detective for a while), soaps, The F Word, Something for the Weekend (now that Tim Lovejoy has left Soccer AM).

Books:

Fave novel of all time is Wuthering Heights. Classic. All that madness and passion. Also love Jane Eyre (more madness and passion) The Mayor of Casterbridge, A Farewell To Arms, Bridget Jones' Diary, Birdsong, Captain Corelli's Mandalin.

Heroes:

My mum, Paul Weller, Steve Marriott, Ryan Giggs.
