Last gig: Ray LaMontagne

Theatre


Recently I saw the musical, La Cage Aux Folles, at the Playhouse Theatre in London and was completely and utterly blown away.


Films


I went to see the adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's book The Road. I was crying within seconds. It's a really shocking tale but at the heart of it there is an eternal hope contained in the father-son relationship that will continue to survive regardless. It was absolutely brilliant.


Television


I don't watch much TV, although I did recently record the latest series of Criminal Justice.


Books


At the moment, I'm reading Which Lie Did I Tell? by William Goldman, about being a Hollywood screenwriter. It's a very funny take on Hollywood but also incredibly real.


Music


The last gig I went to was Ray LaMontagne. I also saw a funky American country singer called Jim White, from the deep south. In my dressing room when I'm getting ready I put on the Funky Meters.
