Annie O: drummer

Where would we find you on a rainy Sunday afternoon?

Annie O, Drummer and DJ If I was to be honest - probably at home, recovering from a gig or a night out. I live with 9 people in a warehouse so it’s pretty lively and there’s always something going on. Alternatively, my boyfriend might take me out for a nice roast - one of the English cultural treats I’ve come to embrace.

What do you do to recreate Germany in the UK for yourself when you feel homesick?

I might go to the German Christmas market in Hyde Park - even though it’s a bit commercial, a glass of mulled wine always makes me think of home.

Which German author or book is a must-read in English?

Charlotte Roche’s ‘Wetlands’ - I’ve lent the book to several friends and like the fact they find it provocative and disgusting.

Which German band or singer has the best chance to make it big in Britain?

I’m a bit out of touch with the German music scene to be honest... And I shall hope that one day it will be my own band ‘Rotkäppchen’. :)

What is the best souvenir /gift to bring back from Germany for your British friends?

Haribo and Lindt chocolate; rye bread; and home-made Christmas cookies!
