< 1 mn read

Ann Docherty, 65, is a DJ from Sheffield. She heard about AoA on Woman’s Hour and filled in our Q & A. Perfect. She says she’d rather be listening to music or designing a new dress than bothering with FaceMuck…

 Always of the dream gig I’d like to put on with my fave artists & DJs.

I suspect last Saturday after playing Tramlines. After the gig I went to the 24/7 Turkish supermarket & did some shopping, jumped in a cab, got myself home & promptly fell into a large bunch of lavender outside my flat.
