As you might have noticed, this blog, my next book and Mr Lizard all take the same form: titles of posts and chapters are titles of songs I like.
Sometimes they’re songs that I’ve been listening to for decades, and hold real meaning for me, while others are new but have grabbed me.
I think this idea comes from Desert Island Discs on the radio, which I grew up with and now enjoy. But rather than be bound by a small selection of music that matters to you, as on that programme, I like the idea of piecing together as much as possible over time as another form of expression.
And I enjoy reflecting the important role music has always played in my life, from the first record I owned (Showaddywaddy), trying to get a job in the music industry (which led me to shovelling rat poo for no pay) through to working at HMV (loads of fun and where I met Shoelace), then for a music exporter, and now teaching Shiana and Mischa what I know and who I like.
