Lotte Mullan
The lovely Lottie Mullan instantly won me over with her beautiful promo package of her debut album, Plain Jane, so I just HAD to speak to her when I found out she was up for interviews.
Dubbed as the female Bob Dylan and one of the few ladies I am tipping for big things this year, Lotte’s new album, ‘Plain Jane’ is one you REALLY need on your iPod this summer.
Hello there little monster, what are you up to?
It's my birthday! So I'm drinking champagne for breakfast and getting ready for my party tonight - gonna be lovely - just friends, music and lots of food.
So, tell me a bit about what you’re here to promote?
My first record 'Plain Jane' - It's out August 2nd and is a mostly live recording of me and my band 'The plain Janes' - it's a story telling record with flavours of Blues, Folk and Country.
And if we didn’t have any clue as to who you were, what three words sum you up?
Cheeky, daydream believer
And as Jacko had the Moonwalk and Elvis had the snake hips, what do you have that makes you unique?
I have the hippy hippy shake - it's a hybrid of the Beyonce booty shake and Ricky Martin's pelvic thrust.
Now, clearly we need to get to know each other more, so tell me an interesting fact about you that noone else knows?
My great great uncle was captain of Aston villa
What song do you wish you’d written?
'Jolene' by Miss Dolly Parton
If I was contemplating coming to your show or sitting at home and TV, how would you convince me to come out?
Listen to my record and you'll be convinced!...if not my band are very sexy.
And if you were to take me on a trip to your hometown, what would be the first place we’d go?
The Green Dragon, best local pub in the world and they brew their own Green Dragon Ale, then I'd take you on a tour of all the bike sheds I've been snogged behind.
Who was the last person you called / text and what for?
You couldn't print it!
If you were a superhero, what would be your superpower?
I'd be energy bunny - no sleep required.
If you had to date a member of the same sex (or opposite sex if the case may be) who would it be? Mine would ALWAYS be Angelina Jolie.
At the moment I have a rather bizarre crush on the Swedish Wallander from the detective series - he has that brooding silence and serious intent.
What was the last thing you bought?
A garlic crusher to save me 10 minutes a day chopping garlic and then rubbing it in my eyes.
Have you ever been arrested?
No I'm very quick!
Speaking of prison - if you were to send someone to prison for crimes against music, who would it be?
Gotta be Simon Cowell - that man has a lot to answer for.
What were you doing last night at 11?
