My essentials
JULIE
JAMES
Singer and
entertainer
I was born in Leicester England and went to dancing classes from the age of around
four. The dance teacher soon discovered I had quite a strong singing voice so that was
developed along with the dancing. I've been singing ever since.

I can always listen to Bryan
Adams, Mick Hucknall and
Simply Red, Harry Connick
Jr. Great voices, they are in-
credibly relaxing to listen to.
Also love Andy Williams, Mel
Torme for the same reason.
I really don't have any pref-
erences on destinations.
Can't even think of trav-
elling too far at the mo-
ment. That said, I must
say I enjoy cruising very
much, so the destination
is secondary to the actual
cruising experience. How-
ever, I definitely wouldn't
say no to a cruise visiting
Iceland. Also, having en-
joyed the midnight sun
whilst in Norway, I quite
fancy seeing the Northern
Lights one day. I hear they
are quite spectacular.
I enjoy reading James Pat-
terson. Short, sharp, concise
chapters. Keeps the pace go-
ing nicely. I also like Jeffrey
Archer and Dean Koontz. I
need a book to grab me from
the first page and then I can
go with it.
I'M currently watching Dex-
ter: New Blood. I watched
all of the original Dexter se-
ries and loved it. I've also
watched The Blacklist and
The Handmaid's Tale. All
these series have a great cast
of actors. Get the casting
right and with a strong story
I can sit back and enjoy. I also
love a good British drama
WHILE I don't follow per-
sonalities – I do follow pod-
casts; like the ones on BBC
Sounds. I love a good drama,
and some comedy. I often lis-
ten to the classic comedies
like "Round the Horn". These
have stood the test of time
and I can repeat them and
never tire of them
