Interests:
The trumpet. I play the trumpet, and sing worse than I'd like to think due to admiring high voices (Henry Dartnall, Hayden Thorpe etc) and having a bass voice. Favourite band of all time? Radiohead. Favourite song? There She Goes My Beautiful World by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Favourite 'solo artist'? Andrew Bird. Biggest guilty pleasure... OK, Paolo Nutini... Peace, enjoy.

Anything else?:
As you can see, all sorts and styles of music. I would love to be a music journalist as I love music and writing. I like to read Ian Rankin and Haruki Murakami, and good journalism, and JD Salinger of course, or Aidan Chambers if I feel a bit angry. Play the trumpet, play the piano very poorly. Quiz show addict. Favourite band Radiohead. Favourite new band Gold Sounds
