In my music room with the lights off, visualisation on a big screen and speakers turned up. Also, driving in the summer wit the roof down and the volume up

So many things about our history and the fact that it's all from a tiny island that everyone wanted to get their hands on.

The people who have run it the last century, I can't imagine any of the great things we've accomplished being done if it was run by similar minds as today.

Musically Beethoven, morally and personally my parents

Let's answer my own questions that are not terribly exciting.

1) What is your favourite way to hear music? (EG headphones, main system tanked up, in a car etc)
Headphones is great for intimacy but you miss the overall power of music sometimes this way. I do like to play CD'S on my surround sound and tweak it accordingly.
2) What single thing makes you proud about your country?
Invention. What you are looking at and typing over is only possible because of this tiny island.
3) What single thing makes you angry about your country?
Conformity.
4) What person had inspired you most? It could be musically, morally, politically etc
My uncle who was more of a father than my own.
5) Will you still be listening to music with the same passion in 20 years or is it a phase that will take a back seat later on in life?
I'm still doing it now and doubt that I will ever change.
6) Do you believe in fate?
No. Life can change witha split second decision. Nothing is mapped out.

1) What is your favourite way to hear music? (EG headphones, main system tanked up, in a car etc) To really get an intimate feel for the music, I like to listen to it in my room with the lights off, with my headphones on, laying down with my eyes closed. Otherwise, there is nothing better than cruising down the road on a sunny, cool day with the windows rolled down, blasting some good, upbeat music and wailing my heart out.

2) What single thing makes you proud about your country?
The gorgeous and varied landscape.

3) What single thing makes you angry about your country?
The people.

4) What person had inspired you most? It could be musically, morally, politically etc
I know it sounds cliche...but probably my mother.

5) Will you still be listening to music with the same passion in 20 years or is it a phase that will take a back seat later on in life?
Quite honestly, music has just in the last couple of years started to take a front seat in my life. So I'm hoping things will just grow from here.

6) Do you believe in fate?
Nope. Our futures and lives are what we make them. We have control over that.

Musically it's Steve Howe. Learning who influenced Steve Howe lead me to guitarist like Chet Atkins, Les Paul and Wes Montgomery. And they lead me to other artist, etc etc.

Sometimes, for love but nothing else, not fate directed by stars like in astrology.
