Music is a massive part of my life, I couldn't bear a day without listening to some, and there is so much that brings back memories of different things in my life, events, people and places.

Growing up, I remember playing my parents vinyl records, they had stuff like Tony Christie, Perry Como, The Four Tops. I absolutely loved Amarillo and Tie a yellow ribbon. My mum had The Nolans Greatest Hits and I was often heard murdering I'm in the mood for Dancing in my bedroom accompanied by herd of elephant noises as I danced to it. Dear God!

The eighties were the soundtrack to my teenage years, I idolised Madonna, Kim Wilde and Bananarama. My room was plastered in posters, Adam Ant, Spandau Ballet, Kajagoogoo, and loads more.

In the nineties, I loved all the Stock, Aitken and Waterman stuff, the cheesier the better. Kylie was a favourite, I had gone off Madonna a bit, her earlier stuff was much better. I knew every single word of Ice Ice baby by Vanilla Ice by heart, still love it today......
