My all-time favourite thing to do is read books, because they always teach me something new! I love going on walks, climbing up mountains, and swimming in the sea, especially with my friends and family. I also love learning about ancient history.
My Favourites
Beatle: John, because he was an incredible songwriter and musician, and he wanted to make the world a better place, full of peace and love.
Food: Chocolate-covered strawberries, or my Nan’s homemade mince. But obviously not at the same time!
My Music Taste
I listen to all different kinds of music, but I especially love anything from the 1960s - 1980s. I’m also a big musicals fan.
What I Am Good At
I’m good at Musical Theatre - singing and dancing makes me feel inspired, and I love performing in shows for others, to hopefully make them feel inspired.

Hi! I am the biggest nerd you will ever meet. I am a big reader, as well as a lover of art, history and theatre.
My Favourites
Beatle: Ringo! I really like his peaceful energy. Also, in another life, I would be a drummer.
Food: A really specific lasagne I had in Rome a few years ago.
My Music Taste
90% of the time I’m listening to Taylor Swift, but that other 10% I’m listening to a lot of weird, indie, folk music.
What I Am Good At
Not to boast, but I can bake a super good banana bread. I’m a great listener. Also, Nick said I’m AMAZING in the Discovery Zone. Thanks Nick!

Nick
So, I am a BIG Beatles fan, obviously but I also did an English Literature Degree and then went to Drama School, so I am trying to be an actor and a writer. I also love reading, running and playing guitar. Oh, and I love films too!
My Favourites
Beatle: Paul McCartney. I love all four Beatles but Paul is just such a brilliant, multi-talented musician and songwriter.
Food: It changes. I like simple, comfort foods like porridge, soups and a nice pasta. I love cooking too.
My Music Taste
I love so many different types! Rock and pop, obviously, but also film soundtracks, classical music and folk and blues…
What I Am Good At
Difficult one! My family would probably say that I make the best cheese on toast in the world (the secret is to use fresh ciabatta bread and Italian seasoning). I am good at fixing computers and tech stuff. Lauren said I am a good guitarist, thanks Lauren!
