IF YOU HAD TO BE STUCK IN A LIFT WITH SOMEONE, WHO WOULD IT BE AND WHY?

I would probably have to say Stephen Fry. He's a bit of a hero of mine. There would be no end to the topics of conversation and it would be funny, fascinating and quite interesting. Also, Myleene Klass could be there too... you know, just minding her own business.

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST FEAR?

Something bad happening to one of my family.

DO YOU HAVE ANY SUPERSTITIONS?

Not really, but I'd always eat the last bun in a baker's dozen... under a ladder... with a cat!

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONLY ONE SONG ON YOUR IPOD, WHAT WOULD IT BE AND WHY?

That is far too difficult a question for me..... I can't decide between 'A Day in the Life' by The Beatles, 'A Design for Life' by the Manics, or 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' by Nirvana.

WHAT'S THE MOST EXPENSIVE THING YOU'VE BOUGHT, NOT INCLUDING PROPERTY?

It's too boring to say a car, or Macbook, so I'll say my 'Ernie Ball Music Man' Bass Guitar

WHAT'S THE BEST PIECE OF ADVICE YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN?

Never put a sock in a toaster Seriously though.... I can't think of one specific piece of advice, but I do know that listening to all the people that have had an influence on my life, my parents, family, school teachers, musicians, colleagues, friends and even students has helped me in many profound ways to become happy and successful.

WHAT'S YOUR INDULGENCE?

Fooood, Mmmmm.

WHAT ITEM COULD YOU NOT LIVE WITHOUT?

I would have to say my piano -with my iPhone sitting on top of it - IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT YOURSELF, WHAT WOULD IT BE AND WHY?

Physically, I would like to be a little slimmer (round the belly area) and a little trimmer. Who wouldn't? Emotionally, I would like to have been blessed with a little more patience!

WHERE ARE YOU NEXT GOING ON HOLIDAY?

Cornwall, since you ask. Blessed with good weather I believe Cornwall and its beaches rival anywhere in the Med.
