Interests
General
I am an active Sellaband "believer", supporting new unsigned music acts and I also try to promote signed artists I like through sites like this and other forums. I love live music and movies and watching soccer (I am a Reading FC fan). I watch a fair bit of TV, reasonably selectively. I like to take photos and want to take that hobby to a semi-pro level.Music
Always changing and eclectic but presently includes Catherine Feeny, Hawkwind, Human League, Joan as Policewoman, King Crimson (early), Pink Floyd, Tom Petty, Cat Power, Martin Simpson, Talking Heads, The Doors, Wire, plus lots of other folk music and Americana. I explore music constantly using Sellaband, my Napster membership, Amie Street and MySpace.Movies
I'm a keen film fan (not quite a film buff in knowledge terms) and have attended film societies and clubs since I was 18. I have wide-ranging tastes including foreign language films but favourites include Spirited Away, The Third Man, the original Solaris, Pulp Fiction, Kagemusha, Tell No-one, Hidden (Cache), Donnie Darko, Lantana, Double Indemnity, The Maltese Falcon, M. I guess I like films with a stylish look to them and of course a great script.Television
24, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Desperate Housewives, CSI (Las Vegas), The Wire, Dexter, Hustle, Culture Show, Later, Match of the Day.Books
Occasional "quality" novels recommended by my wife and her book club, but intruth I seldom read a novel!Heroes
Anyone who stands up for peace and justice, corny though it may sound.

About me:
My main reason for being here is to find and promote good music. My main focus for promotion is Sellaband, the site allowing anyone who likes the music to invest in the artist's next album. Outside Sellaband, one of my favourite artists is Catherine Feeny, who is about to embark on a short UK tour. Don't miss her!

If you are not busy please come along and see Jon tomorrow (1st November) @ The Brook, 466 Belgrave Road, Southampton, SO17 3AN.
Jon is the singer/songwriter behind the highly aclaimed song 'Going Home' used on the Landrover advert. He has recently had his songs 'In Your Light', 'Dead mans Suit', 'Young Man Blues' and 'Down by the river' playlisted on Radio 2, Absolute Radio and many regional radio programs. He appeared on the Jools Holland Show back in May and supported Seal on his European Tour gaining him many new fans. Don't miss your chance to see Jon live at this lovely venue.

Hope things are going well with you. thought I'd send you a message.
I am contacting folk that I reckon might enjoy my music and live gigs. If you'd like to catch me at a gig or keep up to date with things, do send me a note of your email address.
My album is also out at the moment (from
www.estheroconnor.com/shop)
Anyway feel free to email back.
All the best to you,
Esther

’’The Sunday Express (five stars) ***** It’s clear from the title track that you are listening to something special with O’Connor’s second solo album… It’s time for KT, Sandi and Amy to make room because this should launch a new Scottish star into the charts. ’’
The Herald (four stars) **** ''O’Connor has one of the best voices heard in Scotland in some time, and a set of fine songs to show it off…''
The List (four stars) **** There is an unmistakable modern twist to her music, and she flits effortlessly between, husky poppiness on the likes of ‘Saturday Man’ to soulful stripped down and spine tingling.
