Now i had you down as a blonde - funny how you build up a picture of someone.

The last compliment I had was last November when I was at a hafla where about half the audience were Egyptian/Algerian. I wasn't performing, just dancing to the ban and an Egyptian lady came over and said her table had been wondering where I was from because i danced so well. I was desperate to say Lebanon or Tunisia, but had to confess Manchester, which is not what she was thinking

Made me very happy, but every time I got up after that i felt really self-conscious.
