What is your favourite Embrace song?

Fireworks.

What was your favourite Embrace gig?

Halifax Victoria Theatre on Easter Monday 2006. They were absolutely superb. Having only seen Embrace once before at Manchester MEN in 2005, it was really good to see them in a more intimate environment.

Doncaster Dome October 2006 was superb as well - the band were really good and Danny's voice was immaculate.

What is your favourite Embrace Album?

OON

What is your favourite Embrace B-Side?

What and when was your first messageboard post?

Can't remember...I think it was just after the MEN gig and I spouted on about how good it was.

Who was the first messageboarder you met?

I was apparently stood in front of R1ch at an Anechoic gig and didn't know until he informed me that my slim figure had blocked his view of the whole gig. However I was privileged to meet in person Shaunus before the Doncaster Dome gig and he takes the title of first messageboarder met.

What is the most stupid thing you've done at a gig?

drank far too much weak lager and nearly had a ruptured bladder as I held it, and held it, and held it until the end. That wee must have lasted 20 minutes...

Amy Winehouse, Anechoic, Arctic Monkeys, Athlete, Babyshambles, Blur, Carter USM, Coldplay, Cud, Dirty Pretty Things, Embrace, The Enemy, Faithless, The Fall, Franz Ferdinand, The Fratellis, Gene, Gorillaz, Green Day, Happy Mondays, Hard-Fi, House of Love, Inspiral Carpets, James, Kaiser Chiefs, Kasabian, Keane, The Killers, Kings of Leon, The Libertines, Manic Street Preachers, Morning Runner, Morrissey, Muse, Neds Atomic Dustbin, Oasis, Oom, The Pigeon Detectives, Primal Scream, Radiohead, Razorlight, The Smiths, Snow Patrol, The Stone Roses, Travis, The Verve, We are Scientists, The Wedding Present...
and many many more that I have forgotten about

What are your favourite albums?

OK Computer - Radiohead
OON - Embrace
Bizarro - The Wedding Present
When in Rome Kill Me - Cud
Razorlight - Razorlight

What are you currently listening to?

The voices in my head

What is your favourite Jelly Baby?

All of them - and the packet, then anything else that's left to eat

Who is your favourite Neighbours character?

None - may they all have a terrible accident

Most likely to say…

"Negative"

Least likely to say…

"I just love hip hop"

Cricket - good or evil?

I prefer locusts.

What was the last thing you ate?

Raspberry Ripple ice cream

What did you want to be when you were growing up?

I really wanted to be a dustbin man

If you were having a dinner party, which member of Embrace would you want to help in the kitchen?

Danny would just be laughing all the time, Richard would probably have an accident, not sure that Mike would be able to reach the worktops and Steve is just too cool. Therefore I would choose Mickey Dale - he looks like he can cook.

Cats or dogs?

Dogs. Cats hate me. When they walk into a room they turn around and look at me with disgust. I attempt to stare them out but this just encourages them to mock me and climb onto my knee, flicking out their claws just to show me who's in charge.

So dogs.

Heaven is…

Friday night, curry, bottle of wine, wife and kids.

Hell is…

Work

Madness Rating (1 to 10)

An interesting fact about myself…

I was once in a brass band that was featured on Songs of Praise - I have also managed to get my name mentioned in the sleeve notes of a Wedding Present album...

...but most recently I saw myself on the TV broadcast of the Rugby League Challenge Cup Final. I was in the crowd as the camera panned around. Fame at last!!
