Joan Baez - she is my absolute heroine
Bob Dylan - I love the songs he wrote, and would love to know more about his relationship with Joan.
John Lennon - I agree with you about him, Paula.
Kate Rusby, my favourite folk singer, I love her voice and her endearingly funny ways.
Maeve Binchey - I loved her heartwarming novels.
My maternal grandfather, Ernest Barr, Veteran of Dunkirk and my hero, who definitely died too young at 52.

My list is not set in stone, either, but they spring to mind first :-)

My six would be .

Peter Ustinov - loved to hear him chatting away.

King Richard 111 - so that I could ask him about what really happened in his lifetime.

Joseph Lister - the discoverer of antibiotics, (where would we be without them)
He dared to take a new approach to operations and thereby saved countless lives.

My paternal grandmother, Christina, who I was not allowed to meet. I would like the chance to get to know her, and her side of the story.

Alexis Soyer 1810-1858. A French chef who became the most celebrated cook in Victorian England and was perhaps the first "celebrity chef".
He tried to alleviate the suffering of the poor in Ireland during the Great Famine (1845-1849) and he improved food provided to British Soldiers in the Crimean War.

Mother Teresa, to bring me back to earth.
