Like I would say to Joe, would you come to Cambridge? I can get us some gigs.
Alexis TaylorGUEST
We would play in these... quite good but small venues like the Portland Arms and we played at the boat race and yeah he had to travel and make a commitment to this thing that wasn't yet going anywhere you know it's not like anyone knew who we were and I was grateful that he was up for doing that and then I would go over to see him and record with him and Owen was key to it all as well because I remember Owen coming, he was at Bath University studying art and he came to join with Joe and me.
Alexis TaylorGUEST

The women who leaned hardest toward reading people and furthest from reading systems scored higher on two specific things.
Simon SebireGUEST
That's right.
Simon SebireGUEST
So I went to University of Bath.
Simon SebireGUEST
And that was because I think as many people choose when you go away to university from Guernsey, I chose somewhere that was relatively small.
Simon SebireGUEST
it was a campus university and and and at that time it was much smaller than it is now um but it was self-contained um and i felt quite comfortable in that environment and it had an excellent reputation for sports science and also for sport um and so that attracted me me there um and the sports science degree then then can take you in different directions so i went there very much with the the thinking around elite sport and um
Simon SebireGUEST
So I did a PhD.
Simon SebireGUEST
So I came back to Guernsey for a little bit.
Simon SebireGUEST
I then went back to the University of Bath and pursued a PhD and that was in motivation for exercise.
Simon SebireGUEST
And behavior change and physical activity.
