First times, last times with… baby velvet

-

First time you travelled overseas? It was with four of my high-school friends, aged 18, to India, because we had watched The Darjeeling Limited. We took a sleeper train, had all our money stolen (we got it back), and two of the girls went to hospital for dehydratio­n. Last time you read a good book? I just read Dolly Alderton’s Everything I Know About Love. Whenever I get drunk, I send Dolly Instagram messages telling her how much that book means to me. First time you did something illegal? When I was 19, I had two older male housemates and had a huge crush on one of them. One night he asked me to drop him at the pub. I was on my learner’s at the time, but played it cool. The second I dropped him off, I was pulled over by the cops. I had to go to court and lost my learner’s for a year. Last time a song gave you goosebumps? Someone sent me Flyte’s album This Is Really Going to Hurt. I’ve been obsessed! First time you picked up an instrument? At age nine or 10 – my mum enrolled me in piano lessons and had to bribe me with Spice Girls collector cards. Last time you did something creative that wasn’t music? I’m also a visual artist (@hannahmarj­orieillust­ration). I’m currently painting an A2 watercolou­r for my song “Normal People”. First time you met one of your idols? I spent my high-school years being obsessed with Grinspoon. When All Our Exes Live in Texas filmed our first video clip for “Tell Me”, I met Phil Jamieson from Grinspoon. He was so kind and funny to us on set.
