Yes, Jenoi or the Rock Chick!

30. The counselling didn't work!

At home in Warlingham, Surrey.

This is not easy, so many! For example Sheryl Crow, Karen Carpenter, Eva Cassidy ­ loads of others. Oh and I just love Duffy at the moment!

Don’t know....maybe something from my teenage years/early 20’s which makes me feel nostalgic after a few vinos! Either that or some Disco/Soul - a bit of Luther for instance.

Probably something Motown at the moment, or maybe Keane’s album.

So, so many, but Wake Up Boo by the Boo Radleys has to be up there somewhere in the top 10 ­ it’s always guaranteed to put a smile on my face.

I love Bridget Jones, Happy Gilmore, Big Daddy, among others.

Well I was going to start this answer this with “Blimey, how embarrassing, it was Five Star or Brother Beyond when I was about 11” but having just read Stevie’s response I think we’re supposed to add our first performance. So...my first proper gig was probably when I was 16 with Mary Moroney, the first band I was in ­ at some sort of hall in Caterham, Surrey where we used to rehearse. It was for charity I think.

Another One Bites the Dust by Queen when I was about 5 or 6 (don’t know why, didn’t ever like them and absolutely hate that song) plus a song by Matchstick (I think?) only I can’t remember what it was called so that’s helpful ­ both from Woolies.

The pianist from Keane, he’s fab.

Was with an all girl band when I left school (before the Spice Girls were around I hasten to add!). We used to wear red and black PVC costumes, only it was really thick industrial PVC and so took some warming up before we could move like anything other than a tin man! Then after a few other bits and pieces I got into a band when I moved to the South West; that was with Davey B and Shelly. We went our separate ways after about 18 months. Shelly and I did some stuff together in the interim and then we all met up again a few years after that; that was when we put together About a Girl with the lovely Stevie T (not to be confused with that singer Stevie B who sang a song about a postman I think in the 80’s).

Beyer Dynamic vocal mic, a monitor of some description - I don’t know, I’m a proper girl, I just plug it in! I also have a red tambourine and some lovely maracas - no pun intended.

Wine, lots of it, any colour.
