Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy listening to a range of music, including Karine Polwart, Regina Spector, Rura, Blazin Fiddles, Adam Holmes, Pink Floyd, Fleet Foxes, Fleetwood Mac and Rhiannon Giddens. I am always up for listening to new music.

I don’t watch many films, but among my favourites are Joy, Trainspotting and The Hours. I would love to broaden my film knowledge.

I’m currently enjoying reading Milan Kundera’s The Unbelievable Lightness of Being. I love reading books with a deep meaning.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I cycled from Tallin to Edinburgh over 6 weeks when I was 11 years old.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy sharing my love and knowledge of music.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can recommend great places to go in Glasgow, particularly for live music.
