What are the top 3 tracks of your life and what do they mean to you?
MC Hammer – You Can’t Touch This!
This track always brings a smile to my face as my friends and I used to try and copy the ‘MC Hammer’ dance.
Kayne West – Stronger
This song means a lot to me as it was released at around the same time I became Managing Director in 2007. I used to listen to it for motivation.
Michael Jackson – Smooth Criminal
I’ve always been a huge Michael Jackson fan and grew up listening to his music. This has to be one of his greatest tracks.
Can you remember the first album you bought?
The first album I bought was Michael Jackson’s ‘Bad’.

The first live concert I attended was Michael Jackson’s Dangerous Tour in 1992 at Glasgow Green.
