A DOZEN QUESTIONS - NO. 14 - SPECIAL GUEST: STEPHEN DUNWOODY

A DOZEN QUESTIONS

(NO.14)

The Pivot Questionnaire comprises 10 questions. I have seen it used on the television show Inside The Actor's Studio, presented by James Lipton. Apparently Proust was the original inspiration. The modern questions originated on a French TV show called Bouillon de Culture, hosted by Bernard Pivot. I have expanded the questions to 12.

(For the time being, this idea is restricted to Northern Ireland's creative artists in any field, literature, music, broadcasting, etc. If you are one and are interested in taking part as well as promoting your work, please get in touch via joecushnan@aol.com)

This post’s special guest is Stephen Dunwoody who divides his time between music and journalism. He plays blues and soul and has a very distinctive singing and playing style. His album Nina and Me is due out in Spring 2018 inspired by his great love for Nina Simone.

I blogged about his album Trouble In Mind and here is the link: https://droppedthemoon.blogspot.co.uk/2016/08/music-review-trouble-in-mind-by-stephen.html

Here is a link to the song that introduced me to Stephen. (It blew my mind!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qs_O_n0nvQ
