Trained as an opera/classical singer in secondary schools and sang in chamber choirs. Now at university, I mainly sing jazz, blues, pop, rock and swing. I used to sing lead vocals in my school's Big Band. I also write my own material.
About me:
~Daughter. Sister. Sister-in-law. Niece. Aunt. Cousin. Granddaughter. SUPERmuso. Friend. Rocker. Metalhead. Writer. Poet. Vocalist. Musician. Songwriter. Check out my channel on YouTube! ~
-June 2009: I have officially finished my BA Music degree at the University of Southampton.
~More of a performer than an essayist [let's be honest]. My "instrument" is my voice dans les genres de rock, pop, blues, jazz, soul et swing.
-Originally from West London, where I live with my folks.
~Activities include singing/piano-ing, writing poetry and potential songs, photography, walking and listening to music, being with my friends, gigging [going to/giving], playing music by ear, dancing, stargazing, video recording/editing, jammin', day trips, sleeping, cooking, breathing..
-I eat at stupendous hours of the day. My friends don't get it, and I don't think you will either.
~I like shoes. Not very good at surviving a night in heels. I have annoying feet - they never agree with me.
-I quite like airplanes. Would love to fly a Supermarine Spitfire or Hawker Hurricane one day. Also like to collect model planes.
~I make wicked pancakes, a mean stir-fry and awesome mashed potatoes. Generally quite a good cook. Currently learning the art of perfect sausages.
-I like experimenting with food, make-up, hair, clothes, music, etc.
~I rarely leave the house without my mp3 player. If you see me, don't bother shouting 'cuz the odds are I won't hear you. I welcome shoulder taps however.
-One thing I've learnt about life since living it is that we are all children inside.
LIFE IS A PLAYGROUND.
~No matter what time you tell/expect me, I can guarantee that I will almost certainly be late.
-Sometimes I harmonise without thinking. Subconscious habit.
~Friends believe I am blessed as I see more famous people by chance than they do. On separate occasions I met Jimmy Page and Bruce Dickinson on the street. I've also seen Mick Jagger and Bill Bailey in restaurants. Both were with blondes [lol].
-I'd really like to visit Oz, Greece, Portugal, Japan, Iceland and Thailand. I've been to France every summer for about 16 years but still love it every time I go. Wouldn't mind living there for a bit :)
~I hate leaving work til the last minute, but most of the time I find I work best under pressure :P
-I have quite a diverse lifestyle and am open to discovering new things.

Yeah I remember you then =) I think there's only one gander but it is on top of something else called the Metropole which sometimes people mistake for another gander. It does get confusing so I shall let you off. I think we're going to be about afterwards as there's a couple of other bands on. I don't know what they are like though.
It'd be great if you could make it to the talking heads and bring some friends. We'll bring tickets on Friday and you can decide if you're up for it in the meantime. Thanks!!
Hey Ali,
Actually yeah I think I remember you. Have you always had pretty colourful hair?
No worries about the 26th but friday would be great if you could come. I think we're on first around 8:20 and you can get tickets on the door. That's a lucky coincidence that your in bournemouth then.
Cheers,
Cronk
Hey Ali, How's it going? Did tim drum play in your recital? I heard it went well. Are you coming to our gig on the 26th at The Talking Heads? If so let me know and I'll reserve you some tickets. Cronk xx

Hey Ali! Yep, it's been too long, I just didn't have time :S
I'm so happy for you, its great you're going to graduate in a few months :) Don't be afraid, its great! ;)
I'm teaching for now, but I'd like to go on with tourist guiding; you know, I already am a tourist guide, its just that I have started to teach some kids English, and I don't want to leave them at this point. So in a few months (I think after summer at least) I guess I can start it :) & I'd love to go back to England sometime, it would be great to meet you!
Do you have a place where you can work after you finish, or you still have to search? xxx
My bearded dragon and I got a connection alright xD I try to be nice and he is grumpy and just wants food and more food! But no wonder, the ppl before me didnt feed him properly (waaaay too little food) and he dosen't know me all that well yet ;) but we're getting there ^^ hehe
I rarely leave the house without my mp3 player. If you see me, don't bother shouting 'cuz the odds are I won't hear you. I welcome shoulder taps however.
