1) What animal would you most like to be? A Japanese Snow Monkey, simply because I watched an Attenbourough documentary on them and their lives are horrendously laid back.

8) What are you up to at the moment? I have 3 projects on the go at the minute. I'm in a girl from South Africa's band called 'Annaca' playing like a gypsy jazz/pop thing, playing guitar and backing vocals and we're playing a forum in about 2 weeks time.
I have recently started a swing function and original material band, with the aim to playing jazz clubs, weddings etc... playing Sinatra, Martin and Nat king Cole songs.
And finally my own band, which i'll tell you about at the bottom.

12) What makes you laugh? My housemates, Comedians like Bill Hicks and Dave Chapelle and just things people can come up with on the spot alot of the time.
13) What makes you cry? I had to pick and old fella up after he fell pretty hard in Victoria train station and no-one else would help or even look at him. Too busy apparently. C***s. Let's just say that wasn't what made me laugh.
14) What was the last book you read? Julia Lennon's (John Lennon's sister) 'Imagine this.' It was good if your a bit of a Beatles fanatic.
15) Tell me a little bit about your band
Playing a mixture of Johnny Cash, The doors, Strokes, with a big 50's influence from the crooners but with delay pedals in the same vein as Foals and Two door cinema club. Vocal harmonies also very important feature. Name pending.
