1. Turning Out - AJR

They write songs that really express how I felt at their age, this song in particular, the build up and ending just gets me every time.

2. Bombay Blue - The Mystery Jets

It always takes me back to my final term at university. It’s a swirling indie melancholy trip.

3. Everybody Knows It’s Going To Happen Only Not Tonight - The Go Find

The Go Find were the first band I downloaded from iTunes way back in 2004. This song and album in particular, it just gives me the feeling of being sat on a beach in France watching the sun go down.

4. Black and White Town - The Doves

Pure nostalgia choice here. Takes me back to college and falling in love with the whole Post-Brit-pop music that was coming out at the time. Went to see Noel Gallagher, where The Doves were warm up, I was more excited for this one song.

5. You and I - Valerie June

I could have picked anything by Valerie. When I fully need to relax and lose myself I put this album on and just get lost in this world she created. Her voice is just stunning and I would highly suggest her to anyone!

6. Modern Life Is Rubbish

I’ve shown this movie to a few friends and I just get funny looks, but I adore it. It’s probably a nostalgia trip with all the indie music, but I love the story and the side characters are just hilarious.

7. Godzilla - Nanna

Nanna, also a member of ‘Of Monsters and Men’, released her solo album last year and this was a single. I love her voice and lyrics, I think you just need to listen to it. I’ll let the song do the talking.

8. The Universal - Blur

I got to hear this live in Hyde Park in 2009 and it’s a moment that constantly stuck with me. If I had one song to listen to for the rest of my life, this would be it.

9. Wayne’s World 2

Spent most of my life quoting from this film. The crazy roadie Del just makes this film perfect. ‘Woodstock? That was quite a show, man. It rained all morning, and then it cleared up in the afternoon. And that’s it, I almost remembered something else, but it’s gone.’

10. (I’m Not Your) Steppin’ Stone - The Monkees

The first song I learned on guitar, I love The Monkees, it was down to watching the show that got me into performing all those years ago.
