What was the last movie you saw? Paris Je T’aime – it’s actually 18 short films about Paris woven together.

Which stage production did you last see? I see so many it’s hard to know where to start! Cloudgate Dance Theatre of Taiwan was a recent highlight, and I’m really looking forward to seeing Black Watch in Ebbw Vale.

When was the last time you visited a gallery? Artes Mundi at the National Museum in Cardiff – I’ve been three times now. Don’t miss it.

What was the last gig you went to? Cate Le Bon performing as part of our Dan Y Pared sessions.

Name your three favourite tunes on your iPod. That’s so hard. I’m currently listening to Strauss’ opera Elektra, and Star Rise, which is remixes of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.

Which book are you currently reading? Istanbul by Orhan Pamuk, because I’m having a few days’ break there soon.

Tell us about the next cultural thing you’re planning to do. I’m most looking forward to A Mass for Peace – 77 young choristers from Gugulethu Township in South Africa performing at WMC with Karl Jenkins on 16 June.
