A DOZEN
QUESTIONS
(NO.20)
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 Anthony Toner,
the Belfast-based songwriter and guitarist who is currently promoting Ink, his
7th collection of original songs. Anthony, along with several
others, is in the premier league of Northern Ireland’s singer/songwriter
community. He has made many solo appearances, supported Barbara Dickson on tour
and, quite recently, added radio (Ulster) presenting to his CV. Check out his biography, etc on his website (link below).
