8) Best Gig Attended: I saw the Sugababes (not very rock 'n' roll I know) but they had the most amazing band. Lots of very funky bass and drum breaks. Madness at the Albert Hall was very cool too. They got Baggy Trousers wrong which was a shame
9) Musical Experience: I made my stage debut at the age of 5 in the Combe Martin Primary school Nativity play. Have since played with the likes of Studio Theatre, and the well known, 'Lee's Choir'. Seriously though, I have most of my experience from stage singing, but the last 2 years I've performed in many a different venue across the south west.

12) Favourite Food: Kinder Surprise (with which other food do you receive a free toy?)
13) Favourite Drink: That's tough. Either Johnny Walker, or a Chicken and vegetable Cuppa Soup
14) Favourite Film: Kill Bill - Lots of blood, good soundtrack. What more could a girl want?!
15) Turn Ons: Extreme weather (when I grow up I'd like to be a tornado chaser) relaxed/chilled out/stress free people. They have the right idea!/Very loud and funky bass lines.
16) Turn Offs: Jealous people/Boy racers who play their bad music so loud that your ears bleed/Really old people who apply their make up with a trowel (have some dignity!)/Smelly cheese
17) What Was The First Album You Bought: I think it was 'Walthamstow' by East 17.
18) Any Nightmare Gig Stories: No Comment
