FIRST&LAST
ANNIE MAC The Radio 1 DJ talks extravagant clothing and macaroni cheese
First record you ever bought Guns N’ Roses – Use Your Illusion I and II. Last great meal you cooked There’s not many of them. I’m not a good cook.
Last thing you recommended to someone The Django Django LP. I love it.
First i lm you saw that really moved you ET! Last time you cried Probably at something on the telly. I cry at anything remotely sad on the telly.
First crush Connor Elliot. A family friend who saved me from drowning when I was young. I thought he was my knight in shining armour.
Last person you fantasised about Gosling of course! First movie you ever went on a date to Ooof I cant remember the movie! I remember the boy though.
Last book you read I’m reading the biography of Gil Scott Heron. First job I helped out in a children’s summer camp when I was 14.
First concert you ever attended The i rst one I remember is Moloko in Dublin when I was 15. Last time you were star struck Frankie Knuckles! He was sitting in the ofi ce of Radio 1. I was too scared to ask for a photo.
First great piece of advice you were given ‘Never underestimate the power of your passion’ – Mary Anne Hobbes.
Last time someone criticised your work I got a tweet from an angry man a few weeks ago saying I didn’t do enough audience interaction during a gig.
First time you realised you were famous Probably when I got stopped in the street in London the i rst time.
Last time you exploited your position to get something Errrrr, I got a free manicure. First song at your (potential) wedding Fleetwood Mac – ‘Everywhere’.
Last meal on earth – what would it be My mum’s macaroni cheese with her homemade coleslaw and brown bread. First song you’ll sing at karaoke Jackson Five – ‘I’ll Be There’.
Last extravagant purchase you made A cashmere tracksuit. First object you’d save from your burning home Oh god! My record collection?
Last time you made an impulse buy and regretted it Every bloody week! I’m always buying the wrong thing. The latest was a dress made entirely out of plastic i sh scale like round bits that made me look ENORMOUS.
First thing you’d do if you ran the country Tax the rich more and create a huge fund just for children’s and old people’s homes. Last funny thing you saw online A squirrel with its head stuck in a Hallowe’en mask – on.fb.me/ UnG4kN.
