GINGERSNAP THE BAND - RACHEL

Name Rachel Stevens
Age Gosh-can’t believe I’m embarrassed to say!
Status Very Happy Thanks
Role in Band Vocals
What would you like us to know about your instrument? (keep it clean) Well-its been with me for many years-we’re old friends
What was first record you ever bought? The Wurzels-“I’ve got a Brand New Combine Harvester”-you make I laugh!
If you could only go and see one band/artist before you die who would it be? Dolly Parton-a bit of a hero of mine.
Most memorable Holiday? Taking my girls to Barcelona a couple of years ago. My Favourite place with my favourite people.
Least favourite food? Beetroot-Always been suspicious of anything that can stain the crockery.
Oh and Ice Cream-its pointless!
If you could only rescue five items from a burning building what would they be? (no people allowed) Mascara
High Heels
Push up Bra
Hammer Drill &
My “Coffees of the World” collection
What would you like people to say about you after they’ve seen the band? I didn’t know Dusty Springfield was still around
What do you think they actually say about you? Nice Shoes
When you make your fortune what’s the first thing you will buy? A new boiler-sad but true-fed up shivering through the winter.
Tell us a childhood memory. My granddad taking my sisters and I to Butlins in Bognor Regis for the day-My Granny thought he was wonderful entertaining three young children all day but in fact he left us to run riot while he spent all day in the bookies-he bribed us not to let on-we told granny at his funeral!
Who would play you in a film about your life? I’d like to think Nicole Kidman but actually Dawn French is more likely-but she’s good too.
And what would the theme tune be? Teenage Kicks by the Undertones
What really gets you mad? Thongs-whoever invented them should be shot. They aren’t sexy(on anyone) and they aren’t comfortable-I believe they’re a form of torture in some South American Countries.
Oh and never remembering where I parked my car when I come out of the supermarket
If you met someone for the first time what would be most likely to put you off them? Someone who only talks about themselves or conversely who asks me what I do for a living-always wonder if they’re working out whether I’m worth bothering with.
What’s your motto for life? If you’re bored you must be boring! Life doesn’t land in your lap you have to get off your arse and work for it-more of a rant than a motto.
What’s your guilty pleasure? Sausages and Mash.
