ET!

Probably at something on the telly. I cry at anything remotely sad on the telly.

Gosling of course!

Last great meal you cooked
There’s not many of them. I’m not a good cook.

The first one I remember is Moloko in Dublin when I was 15.
Last time you were star struck
Frankie Knuckles! He was sitting in the office of Radio 1. I was too scared to ask for a photo.

‘Never underestimate the power of your passion’ – Mary Anne Hobbes.
Last time someone criticised your work
I got a tweet from an angry man a few weeks ago saying I didn’t do enough audience interaction during a gig.

A cashmere tracksuit.
First object you’d save from your burning home
Oh god! My record collection?
Last time you made an impulse buy and regretted it
Every bloody week! I’m always buying the wrong thing. The latest was a dress made entirely out of plastic fish scale like round bits that made me look ENORMOUS.
First thing you’d do if you ran the country
Tax the rich more and create a huge fund just for children’s and old people’s homes.
Last funny thing you saw online
A squirrel with its head stuck in a Hallowe’en mask.
