iPot meets...Joe Perry
Joe Perry is snooker's Mr. Nice Guy!
After a semi-final at Sheffield and a place back in the top-16, we caught up with him to find out his musical influences.
How do you relax between matches?
I get on well with a few of the players, so we tend to have a 'friendly' game of cards in the players' lounge or back at the hotel. I also like to watch other matches - it helps me get a feel for the venue and feel part of the tournament. .
Does Music help to relax you?
No, not really.
What about inspire you before matches?
No - I know a few players 'psyche' themselves up before a match but I dont go in for that kind of thing!
Do you own an iPod / MP3 player?
No. Can you believe that? I am not a huge music fan and just haven't bothered getting one. The only time I really listen to music is at the gym - and that tends to be dance stuff which is not my cup of tea! But, if there was something I liked, I would buy the CD
What was the last CD you bought?
Amy Whinehouse, I know she is a bit of a tortured soul, but I think she is brilliant. I was pleased she won so many Grammy's the other night.
Do you listen when practising?
No, I haven't tried it actually. So I dont know if it would help or not, I just have never done it!
Who is your favourite bands / singers?
Amy Whinehouse and some classic stuff, like Elton John.
Ever seen any of them live?
Yes
Where?
I was dragged to see Robbie Williams by an ex-girlfriend who told me I was missing out! I wasn't convinced. Although, I did see Elton John when I was on honeymoon and he was fantastic.
Best Concert?
Elton John, superb!
Ever been to Glastonbury / Festivals?
No. I am not a big fan of mud or outdoor toilets, I prefer my home comforts.
If you had sum up your career in a song which song would it be?
