Music
I’m a music fan in a big way. So much so that I know I am going to have to resist the temptation to get carried away here!
My favourite group is British Sea Power. Based in Brighton, the group has been heavily influenced by its Westmorland roots. I’ve seen them in concert over 20 times, the best ones being at Grasmere and Tan Hill.
I am a huge fan of the Glastonbury Festival. I’ve been to almost all of them, though I am not exactly sure how many, having lost count many years ago. I also enjoy going to T in the Park, indeed I’ve already got my ticket for 2010.
During August 2009 the most played tracks on my Creative Zen Xtra (an ipod for those who don’t like Ipods) were – in play frequency order:
1. Empire Of The Sun – We Are The People (4:27)
2. M83 – Graveyard Girl (4:51)
