My Brilliant Friend. For bookclub.
3. A jazz or classical tune/piece of music that you’ve always loved
Contessa Perdono from Mozart's Marriage of Figaro. I've just always loved the harmonies.

4. A foreign destination you would like to visit or return to
The Paimpont Forest in Brittany, after reading about Broceliande and Netkian and Vivian as a child.

1. Hong Leung- a Chinese artist whose colourful modern landscapes adorn a few of the walls of our home
2. Integral Vision - Ken Wilber. Probably because he’s my favourite philosophical, spiritual writer and has created the most comprehensive theory of human development I have found.
3. Mussorgsky’s Night on a Bare Mountain - loved this since my teenage years
4. Prague - never been but off there in May for a 5 day break
5. It’s called Crunchie Surprise - a heart attack in a bowl - but a firm favourite of everyone I’ve made it for. I’ve had people refuse to come to a dinner party unless it is the dessert

Auther Rackham is someone who's work I like to look at. Think he was around in the early 1900s. I especially like the trickster loki trying to tempt the three maidens out of thhe water. Technically he is excellent, their long flowing hair blends into the water beautifully |

"I’ve just realised I took artist as musical artist
I therefore change my pick to Bob Ross
The world needs more Bob Ross’s"
Don't worry, it was a happy little accident  |

Lemmy, rip. He was an amazing bloke and was very knowledgeable about lots of stuff, other than JD, illegal substances and music.
2. A book that is on your yet to read pile
Guy Martin autobiography, he's an eccentric engineer and a bit mad.
3. A jazz or classical tune/piece of music that you’ve always loved
None. The nearest to classical music I go would probably be Schelmish.
4. A foreign destination you would like to visit or return to
India, there's so much still to see.
5. A favourite pudding or dessert
Do I have to pick one, there are so many to choose from.

1. Adrien Piper. Boticelli. Suzie Q. Edvard Munch. Sardax.
2. An Orchestra of Minorities, Chigozie Obioma - my friend sent it to me and I do want to read it but not in the right headspace just yet for it. I shall try this week!
3. Bach - Concerto for Two Violins in D Minor. Concerto for Four Violins in B Minor - Vivaldi.
4. The Amalfi coast - absolutely beautiful and I have fond memories of visiting my grandad and hot summers. Ooo or Barbados! Flying fish and rum and tropical rain.
5. Lemon cheesecake or tarte au citron.
I am really bad at narrowing down options.  |

In no order ...
I'd like to visit Oradour-Sur-Glane in Southern France (google it)
I'd love to re-visit New York, but my anxiety regarding long distance plane travel kinda fucks that idea
Artist wise, I love the stories behind some of Grayson Perry's works (I'd love to own one but failing a lottery win, that's not gonna happen)
I also love a lot of tattoo art work - Buena Vista Trash Polka, Matyas Csiga Halasz (one of my tattoos is on his Instagram page) & a Berlin based artist called Julia Rehme
Pudding wise, try the vegan friendly desserts from the cafe in the Manchester Craft Centre or from The Nakery in Liverpool
That said, Aldi does a cracking millionaires cheesecake atm 
Book wise, I don't really do fiction - I prefer 'real life'
Talk of the Devil ; Encounters with seven dictators, totally gripped me
Classical music is nothing something I know about, so I will recommend some traditional music instead - a Fado inspired group called Madredeus
The singers voice blows me away, even though I don't have the foggiest understanding of Portuguese |

Oh, artist wise ... there is a Devon based watercolour artist called Rachel Toll. Her work (mainly nature and landscapes) is both fab and affordable. I've got a few myself and they make great 'special' gifts for birthdays and Christmas |

Recommend (and why if you can/want):
1. An artist (any genre) whose work has impressed you
Jerobeam Fenderson - oscilloscope music. He creates 'art'/animation using 'music' and the concept of the lissajous curve/patterns. Probably not at all impressive to most but if you get what he is doing it is amazing and the nerd in me loves it. It also reminds me of a certain 1990's commodore amiga demo. (If you know, you know..)
2. A book that is on your yet to read pile
Lessons in logic - William Turner. I like old books and I like logical thinking.
3. A jazz or classical tune/piece of music that you’ve always loved
Duke Ellington - It don't mean a thing. I wouldn't say I've always loved it, jazz is not really my bag baby but I enjoy it now and then.
4. A foreign destination you would like to visit or return to.
Dominican Republic to experience what I missed last time.
5. A favourite pudding or dessert -
Gooseberry crumble, it reminds me of my grandad.
