ILM: What do you like and dislike about London?
I like if there's an Eskimo-lesbian-physical theatre show with lions you can go and see it. I went the other night to see an old 70s Jack Nicholson film by Robert Alman, and then came out and saw some flamenco in a genuine Spanish tapas restaurant and then went to a club, and walked over the bridge and saw the skyline and did five things that anywhere else to do just one of them. To do all these things at once is great and you meet amazing people.
What I don't like is that I really miss the sea and miss space and landscapes, so it's good for me to get out now and again to somewhere beautiful.
ILM: Can you describe your favourite place on earth?
The Isle of Sky. I went on holiday there last November, and I spent a week there and it was quite a good retreat holiday as everything had just started kicking off, and it's just the most fantastic place to be. Skye in November sounded grim, but it was just beautiful. We're doing the Isle Of Sky Festival this summer which is going to mean a lot to me because I absolutely adore it. I love the North West of America as well. Up Washington State and Oregon and stuff is really fantastic.
ILM: What is in your CD player right now?
I'm listening to Willy Mason, Where Humans Eat. I'm loving that album! And to Anthony and The Johnsons, the Bright Eyes album and I've always got to give myself a dose of Iggy Pop.
ILM: Please tell me your favourite tune that makes you instantly smile?
Well that's why I listen to Iggy Pop. It would be Lust For Life. That's my get me going song of the moment.
Now KT is raring to channel all her infectious energies into her own music. "I'm not exactly sure what has driven me so hard," she says. "I've never questioned it. I've never had a back-up plan. I was never going to do anything else." page << 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 >>

Master Gee: ilikemusic because... It gives me an opportunity to truly express myself, unlike what happens in an everyday living situation where there are restrictions on you and limitations on you and demands on you and bills to pay, through music I can truly be comfortable with who I am, and do what I really want to do and say what I really want to say.
