Should pineapple on pizza be considered a crime? 

The real crime is hating on pineapple. Nothing better than a fruit in a savory dish. Grapes in salad? Yes!

Last song you purchased/ streamed?

What’s the mobile app you couldn’t live without?

What annoys you most about the world?

My last ever meal would be… 

Beans on toast with cheese on top (potentially with a sunny side down egg – depends how long i’ve got left) 

Best advice you ever received? 

Try not to take things personally, most people are just in their own worlds and don’t even realise. 

Favourite sports team? 

Nottingham Panthers  

What TV show we should all be watching right now? 

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives  

TikTok or Instagram? 

Honestly, Facebook. I’m so here for reading about the local bin drama or who stole who’s door mat on the community page. 

Coffee or tea? 

Coffee  

Do you have a recurring dream? 

I dream often that I’m attached with lots of red threads to things and the scissors I have are never sharp enough to cut the threads and no matter what I do I can’t get them off me!!! 

What time do you get up? 

7am work days / 11am on the weekend 

What time do you go to bed? 

Midnight 

Favourite joke? 

I don’t know if I’ve ever found a planned joke funny, but do something really silly or dumb and I’m laughing my head off. One of my favorite things to laugh about is pretending to be an inanimate object and getting my partner to guess what it is. 

Is there anything else we should know? 

I’ll be releasing my debut album ‘Inheritance’ on Saturday, April 25, and we will be celebrating with a release show at Rough Trade, Nottingham. So if you like indie folk and supporting independent artists from the Midlands, do come along and celebrate with us!
