In these dark & gloomy days of winter it's only natural to dream of warm beaches & sunny skies. In the first of an occasional series (& with due homage to the BBC & Roy Plomley) I've asked the Fantastic Fireworks staff to choose their Desert Island Discs. My first castaway is our office admin manager, the lovely Kate McGing. Kate has been with us only a few months and has already proved herself to be a top ten hit with staff and clients.

So Kate McGing, tell me about your choices...
Well Kirsty, I mean Jon, it was very hard but here goes...
1. R.E.M. – Losing My Religion (my all-time favourite band! Extremely hard to pick just one song!)
2. The Smiths – How Soon Is Now (again I love everything by The Smiths but this song just about pips the rest to the post)
3. Otis Reading – These Arms of Mine (gives me goosebumps!)
4. Johnny Cash – I Walk The Line (I’ve been slightly obsessed with Johnny Cash since seeing the film of the same name)
5. Blondie – Heart of Glass (just a great song)
6. Killers – Mr. Brightside (a more recent favourite than some of the above!)
7. Kaiser Chiefs – Oh My God (This song came out just as I was leaving home – it made me chuckle with the line “Oh My God I can’t believe it I’ve never been this far away from home” – just what I was feeling!!)
8. Take That – Rule The World (just to throw in a bit of cheese! I loved them as a teenager - think they’ve got better with age!)
I would have to take Jane Eyre with me as my favourite book, I read it for the first time 10 years ago and still love it now.
Luxury item would be my lovely little Burmese cat Coco (if pets are allowed!). Great company and she would keep me amused with her antics all day :o)
I think I would have to spend my time creating ‘101 exciting ways to eat coconuts’ which would surely be a bestselling cookbook once I am rescued and return home!
Thank you Kate for letting us hear your Desert Island Discs & don't forget to come back to work tomorrow!
