I was brought up by a family of foodies, in between London and an organic farm on an island where we picked the vegetables from our garden. I have subsequently thoroughly enjoyed dinner dates with clients and lovers. Last month I was taken to Momofuko Seibo, a Creole fusion restaurant which I have wanted to sample for years and it was the best meal of my life.
I have subsequently thoroughly enjoyed dinner dates with clients and lovers. Trying the culinary art which is available in Sydney, where the food produce is so diverse and delicious. I have been able to tick off many restaurants from the list of places I most wanted to devour food. Last month I was taken to Momofuko Seibo, a Creole fusion restaurant which I have wanted to sample for years and it was the best meal of my life with some wonderful conversation had in between smashing plantain in my mortar and pestle.

Musical Adoration
Music is one of my pure, unadulterated loves.
I have had the pleasure of music being a large part of my life from childhood. I was lucky to grow up with parents who loved a wide range of music (and audiobooks) and I was exposed to a variety of styles and eras under their influence. I was brought up with the sounds of Diana Ross and The Supremes, REM, Gilbert and Sullivan operas, Stevie Wonder, The Ink Spots, George Benson, Talking Heads, The Jackson 5, Marvin Gaye, Bob Marley…
I now travel regularly interstate to go to concerts and work this in with my work touring schedule. This is one of the joyful aspects of my work, being self employed and being able to set your own schedule.
Recently I have rediscovered my love of dance music, particularly drum and bass (dnb or drum n bass) which was a musical style I discovered in my late teens and early twenties. The rediscovery has been prompted by a reintroduction of running into my life. Since moving to the heart of the city of Sydney and having the Botanical Gardens as my local running park, I have dedicated more time towards running and running to upbeat and fast music. I have always found that drum and bass helps me to do whatever I am doing faster and gives me ample motivation and running is no exception.
Below is a few of the tracks I have been listening to of late:
Inja- Be my cure
Logistics- Levitate
Lakeway- War dub
Camo & Crooked- Loa
Polaris- Kessel Run
Urbandawn- Come together
Kings of the Rollers-
Inja- She just wanna dance
BOP- Take it off
I also have a deep love of esoteric dub and spatial music, from the music of Nils Frahm to Ben Frost and I throughly enjoy downtempo ambient chill out music.
No matter what music you are into, rest assured we can enjoy it in a booking together, next time request a musical style and we can explore that, and each other, together.
What a difference a festival makes- Adelaide Festival and Fringe
One of the joys of touring, which in my case, is supported by cultural activities and interests, is that you have time to participate in activities which you might not factor into your every day where you live. Few things tickle my fancy as much as cultural events and activities, which have been a constant in my life for many years.
