1. What instrument do you play and how long have you been playing with Tinderbox?
I play the oboe and i have been playing with tinderbox since Summer 2014 I think.
2. What is your first musical memory?
Theres always been music playing in my house, but I remember my sister teaching me how to play ‘Wild Mountainside’ on piano before i knew what the note names were.
3. Which record / band rocks your world at the moment?
Big fan of Laura Marling, listening to ‘Soothing’ from her new album.
4. What’s your favourite Tinderbox memory or gig?
The first gig I played with tinderbox – Journey of a thousand wings 2014. I gained so much musical confidence, met a group of brilliant and passionate people, improvised for the first time, and just had such a great time.
5. What’s your fave track on the album?
I think it has to be ‘Live Free or Die’. It’s just so happy and motivating. Like “yeah! Go live your life and win everything!”
