YOU ASK OCTOBER.....!

Q: What are your influences?
A:
I don't mean to be difficult, but I have to say that I've been influenced by many different artists and bands. Janis Joplin, Alisha's Attic, Joni Mitchell, The Kinks, Lightning Seeds, SRV, Cat Stevens, The Beatles. I wouldn't say I'm particularly similar to any of them though!

Q: What's your biggest gig?
A: It is of course Glastonbury Festival. I played 9 different stages in one weekend! The weirdest part for me was hearing my name being said amongst the crowds whilst I was out strolling/trawling amidst the Festival.

Q: Desert Island disc?
A: N
ow there’s a question! Ummmm….. could I not just take my ipod?!
I don’t think I could pick just one song. I want The Cranberries’ ‘Zombie’ played at my funeral though, if that helps?!

Q: Who's Mavis?
A:
Mavis is my 1972 Gibson SG guitar. She's the one in the photo on the home page. She's my baby!

Q: What do you consider to be the world's best invention?
A:
Gaffer tape aka rock 'n roll cellotape! It's got me out of some pretty sticky situations.... mind you, it's got me into a few aswell! I find myself having to gaffer things like microphones to bits of furniture when there aren't enough mic stands for example. Oh,and I gaffer the tone selector switch down on my Les Paul too!

Q: What do you call the tv remote control?
A: The ‘bizazzer'. Don't look at me like that!! If you ask odd questions, you'll odd answers lol!

Q: Do you have any weird pre-gig rituals?
A: I have to wear extremely loud socks. Usually stripey.

Q: Do you have any musical ambitions?
A:
Loads! One of my life ambitions though is to play on the Jools Holland show. I'd die a happy gal if I made it to "Hooternany!"  

Q: Have you met anybody that's made you go wow?

A: Annie Lennox. Reeeeespek.

Q: Who are you listening to in the car at the moment?

A: The Cold War Kids. They sound exactly the same live, which is a rarity.

Q: What is your favourite thing to do, other than music?

A: Surf. Good timez :-)
