Arts Q&A: Barbara on the Beatles, WALL-E & rugby

1. When did you think about music as a career and what were your first steps into it?

I always wanted to be a musician. My first tentative steps as a singer/guitarist were at the folk club in Dunfermline, where I grew up. It all stemmed from there.

2. Best gigs you’ve been to?

James Taylor at the Royal Albert Hall in the 80s and Paul Simon on the Graceland tour. The first astonishing concert I remember was Pete Seeger at Aberdeen Music Hall in the mid-60s.

3. Fantasy wedding/birthday party band of choice?

The Beatles would be fantastic. Or, failing that, The Band.

4. The record you would take to a desert island?

This is a difficult one, but I’d say Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys.

5. And the book?

A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking would be good, as I’d have the time to try to understand it.

6. Top three films?

My favourite film is The Searchers by John Ford. I also love The Godfather and WALL-E, the Pixar film.
