Memory is too sketchy for details when I was an infant or junior, but a favourite book was The Dot & The Line, and a favourite album was Dragonfly by Strawbs that was in my mum’s collection. Josephine & I Turned My Face Into The Wind being highlights.

Return of the Jedi. I was already a big Star Wars fan but, seeing RotJ at the cinema, rather than on TV, blew my mind. I know it’s not everybody’s fave but, the impact of watching it on the big screen AND having new figures to collect… so huge to little me.

When Talking Heads released Psycho Killer, and then 77, everything dropped into place for the 14 year old me.

Oh, I didn't know that much as the name of that song (which also devastated me as a child!) - I thought it was "The Old Grey Goose". Bawled my eyes out trying to understand why she died and feeling the goose family's sorrow

Book - The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4 by Sue Townsend. For songs - It's So Easy by Guns n Roses. It was the first time I heard to use of profanity in a song. It was my gateway drug, into the world of rock and metal, and subsequently guitar playing.

Being the youngest of four with brothers 15 years older, I learned to use a record player aged 6 with Have You Seen Your Mother Baby (Standing In The Shadows)? and Nice One Cyril.

I remember walking home from Infants' school reading Beatrix Potter because I couldn't wait until I got home. Older, I loved the rabbits' mythology in "Watership Down". TV would have been Dr Who. Musically, I heard "Wigwam Bam" by The Sweet when I was 6 and I've never been the same since.
