Dads, Geeks and Blue Haired Freaks Blog Tour: The Music Ellie Wrote To

THE MUSIC ELLIE WROTE TO 

Thursday 14th June 

Hairstyle of the Day: 

As a tribute to Vidal Sassoon I think that today's hairstyle needs to be the 1960's bob - as shown here.

Music is really important in our house.  My partner is a musician, my son plays piano and drums – so if we're not playing it we're listening to it or going to see it.  I'm the least musical in my family and have appalling taste when left to my own devices (allegedly) – so I take instruction from everyone else.  We listen across a huge spectrum of music – you couldn't define it, but when I write I do like calm, meditative tunes.  I'm lucky; I can write anywhere.  I can write with the TV on, sat in the lounge – scribbling on a pad or at a desk on a laptop in silence. 

In this case I wrote to Ruth Moody's The Garden, Alabama Shakes Hold On Tinariwen Amassakoul, Efterklang Alike,  Active Child You Are All I See, Bon Iver Holocene, Sigur Ros Glosoli, Amy Winehouse Stronger than me, Richard Hawley For Your Lover Give Sometime,  Stina Nordenstam Another Story Girl, Parry Gripp Hamster on a Piano, Mandalay It’s Enough Now, Thieves Unworthy, Cocteau Twins Heaven or Las Vegas.

Thanks Ellie! I hope you all enjoyed this post. The next stop on the blog tour is in the 18th. You can see it HERE.
