If you could choose any language besides English to have a perfect singing voice, what language and style of music would you choose?

Italian. Everyone loves an Italian Opera!

What is the most everyday kind of activity that you’re the worst at? I.e. cooking, general sense of direction, remembering to text people back, tidying up after yourself?

Texting people back. Especially my Mum! I’m terrible.

If you had to choose one type of article of clothing that you could get for free for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Shoes because they are seriously expensive to buy.

Most ridiculous/surprising/baffling style choice you’ve ever witnessed? (in London or elsewhere)

I live in London! I see interesting choices in style every day.

What form of travel/transportation do you most detest?

The tube, in summer, when there are signal failures. Horrendous!

If you could have a wild night out in 1920’s Paris with either Ernest Hemingway or F. Scott Fitzgerald, who would you pick? 

Ernest Hemingway for sure

JONATHAN HOWARD

Song that you’ve probably listened to (by choice) more than any other.

Tracey Chapman ‘fast car’

Would you rather (successfully) rob a bank for millions, or steal a priceless piece of art from a gallery/private collection? If you’d choose the art answer, would you take any specific piece? (F.Y.I. No-one is physically harmed in either hypothetical scenario). 

The Mona Lisa. I’d put it in my bathroom. Imagine being greeted by her every time you go to the toilet!

If you could choose one film to have seen being made in person, complete with all the highs and/or lows of the shoot/development, what film would you choose and why? 

On The Waterfront’ just so I could follow Marlon Brando around set. I’d make him cups of tea and we’d become mates!

Coolest and/or most stylish film character (or actor) of all time? 

Marlon Brando. He is the coolest man to ever have lived

If you could choose any work of art to call your own, and you’re magically transported to the time of it’s creation or it’d be erased and you’d be able to create it now (and benefited with the original creator’s talents) whether it’s a painting, an album, a film, a performance in a film, a book, a screenplay e.t.c. What would you pick?

I’d love to take the credit for the complete works and copyright of Shakespeare! The complete works of Howard!!!

If you could pick one thing from all of your travels that you wish you’d be able to have access to in London and/or a part of England, what would it be?

Access to the Lake District. I grew up walking round there and miss all the tarns and beautiful scenery up there

Worst film you’ve ever watched in a cinema?

I choose my films very carefully so I avoid this problem!
