I've always been singing.... started having lessons aged 11, started classical training at 13.

the first concert I ever went to.... I was 7 I went with my aunt to proms in the park and it was fantastic. I sort of grew up with classical music. I was completely unaware that the music I had listened to my whole life aged 7 was classical. I thought that music was simply music... I only discovered pop and rock when my radio went to auto save and search channels and found capital FM..... I just remember thinking... "what's THIS?!

I have a Alto PA system, a yamaha mixer... currently using Shure microphones....
as far as instruments are concerned I have a few keyboards. I have a Yamaha DGX 630 digital piano. A Korg PS60 lives in the house but belongs to my brother... I also have a Tyros 1 workstation.... which is great fun.
Guitars.... in the house resides a fender strat (my brother's) a les paul copy (dad's) and there's a fender bullet... which is mum's its actually an instrument I have only seen twice... I have never played it.... there's two bass guitars. A westone Fretless bass and a Warwick fretted bass... in blackened tan... jealous...? ;)
There's a drum kit.... (my brother's) and apart from a few random instruments that are just bits and bobs we found at car boots and junk shops...thats it... =)

I don't have a biggest influence strangely... =/ that's odd...

I was in a band.... now I'm not... haha... ;)

performed at Llangollen international Eisteddfod... that was pretty huge... recently performed with the BBC national welsh choir in the millenium centre... I don't know how many seats there are in the main concert hall but it was completely packed out.. the smallest audience I have performed in front of was 2... it wasn't a very well advertised gig to be honest.

a good question...but as I am stuck on a dessert Island I will have no cd player... ;)
I'd take either a laptop with spotify or an ipod.... ;)
