again albums maybe odd plays tracks
I hear odd tracks from my albums every now and again on the radio, or maybe a friend plays me something.
mother brother playing-music
Irish folk is probably the biggest influence musically that I've ever had. My mother's Irish. And when I was very young, both my brothers were very into traditional music, English and Irish. They were always playing music, so I was always brought up with it.
art thinking play
I don't really listen to my old stuff, but on occasion, I would either hear a track on the radio or a friend might play me one, and there was generally a bit of an edgy sound to it, which was mainly due to the digital equipment that we were using, which was state of the art at the time - and I think everyone felt pressured to be working that way.
play numbers language
Numbers are really fascinating things, and they do play a big part in our lives. They are a language of their own.
snowflake
It's so fascinating to think about how each snowflake is completely individual - there are millions and millions of them, but each one is so unique.
I am just a quiet reclusive person who has managed to hang around for a while.
aware female media people promoted prove wrote
People weren't even aware that I wrote my own songs. The media just promoted me as a female body. It's like I've had to prove that I'm an artist.
family
I was aware of a lot of my friends being into things I wasn't into. Like sarcasm. It had never been a part of my family - they still don't use sarcasm.
people weirdo
I suppose I do think I go out of my way to be a very normal person, and I just find it frustrating that people think that I'm some kind of weirdo reclusive that never comes out into the world.
exist hand people track
I understand that people want to just listen to a track and put it on their iPod, and that's fine, there's nothing wrong with that, but why can't that exist hand in hand with an album? They're such different experiences.
bad music people
The music industry is in such poor shape; it's in a really bad way, and a lot of people in the industry are very depressed.
freedom music
The freedom you feel when you're actually in control of your own music is fantastic.
encouraged work
Thanks to everyone who's encouraged and supported my work over the years.
people
People said I couldn't gig, and I proved them wrong.
