Get to know her.............
 

1) If you could have any record in the world, what would it be and why?

 

Every record I like, from now on !

 

2) Who are your biggest influences in DJ’ing and why?

 

My biggest influences are: Roger Banks, for his open-mind on the Rare Soul world playing R&B along Northern Soul for a long, long time, Butch and Andy Rix for the searching of the newies.

 

3) If you could DJ another style, other than that you are known for, what would it be?

 

Rock and Roll!

 

4) Why did you become a DJ, rather than a collector? 

 

I only buy the songs I like and then I play them, I have no need to complete labels, the discography of a specific artist or something like that…

 

5) What’s the “best” record you own?  

 

I'm not qualified to say , instead I can tell you the record for which I have a special affection at the moment, The Ronettes featuring Veronica LP.

 

6) Where is your favourite place to eat, and the best meal they serve? 

 

Indo-Paki and Japanese food, I love to eat with chopsticks!

 

7) Do you collect anything else?

 

Do clothes count? And I'm a paparazzi of cats, I have hundreds of pictures!

 

8) Favourite drink?

 

Wine, beer and water.

 

9) Most embarrassing / funny moment whilst DJ’ing

 

Some years ago, in a very, very dark desk I played the wrong side of a record, it was one of the slowest ballads in the world! (note from the webmaster - So has Lee Miller)

 

10) Favourite movie?

 

Only one? Singing in the Rain, Breathless, Night of the Hunter, The big Lebowski, To kill a Mockingbird, What ever happened with Baby Jane…
