Band Love

Hey guys,

My main passion is music and especially modern rock and have wanted to work within the music business for a while now especially with touring, live music events and PR because if feel having the correct image, brand but most importantly message from artists is the best way to communicate with their fans. Whenever I go to gigs each band I see I have all the emotions I have ever felt from their music rush through me and it feels amazing and it's a common bond I share with fellow fans and the band. So I am going to go through my favourite bands of all time. 

You Me At Six 

 It all started off in my nans house in 2010 before their Southampton Guildhall gig listening to Save It For The Bedroom and instantly was hooked. As they grew with their albums and music I grew up in life listening to their music and their songs relate to something in my life and means a lot. Being frank they are the main motive and inspiration to work within the music company as every gig I go to of theirs I always have the connection with every other fan of why we love them. From Cardiff to Plymouth, Southampton, Reading Festival, London and many more gigs I've been to I always feel like I can by myself. Their recent album Cavalier Youth is incredible it's very different to Sinners Never Sleep and their previous albums but artists need to change their music as life changes but their characteristics live on and is honestly insane there is no other word for it! So if there is any tiny possibility that they read this blog thank you for being amazing inspirations, I hope I get the opportunity to meet you, and PLEASE DJ at District in Bournemouth and if you ever do you'll thank me cause it's an awesome night and I'll show you the signature cocktail Donkey Kong! 

Deaf Havana

Although there was a sad departure from the group these boys are insane, started being a fan from 2011 and loved them from the start. First seeing them in Bath then Reading Festival their music adapted and their music got soooo good. My favourite has to be Fools and Worthless Liars with their alternative version is so diverse and amazing the use of acoustics shows off their skills and characteristics of the band. I recently met James and Max at District in Bournemouth, and they were genuine lovely guys made sure they had time to chat and had a really awesome conversation with them. They were up for a laugh and did an awesome DJ set as well. Although everyone needs to check out Friends Like These their early work but also their new work as well because the difference is amazing but still show how good they are. 

Don Broco

Adoration is the only word I have for these guys. I've seen them in Plymouth, London and Reading Festival and each time I swear they get better. I have developed a majorly be for these guys their recent album is so different yet contains the same type of sounds but just a edge of different style Superlove is my favourite of their new album but their older stuff I would recommend is Whole Truth, Priorities and you know what just listen to every song because they rock in every one! I recently met Matt at Distrixt again in Bournemouth and he was so friendly and made time for everyone even though it was so hectic due to the launch of the club night. Now all I need to do is meet Tom, Rob and Simon! 

These bands are my life and my motivation to work in the music business.

District

Hey guys, 

One of my passions as you might know is rock music! In Bournemouth you do get occasional gigs and a club called Sound Circus which has a wide range of rock music and mainly metal music! I am also part of the Rock and Indie Society which I couldn't take part in first year due to illness and coursework I had to do! But last monday the main Student Club The Old Firestation launched their new weekly Rock Music Event where the DJ's for the evening was Matt and Simon from Don Broco! I am a massive fan of Don Broco so this was the main thing I was excited for also to meet the rest of the society!

Me and my housemate Chloe started the night off at Inferno a bar next to the event meeting everyone before going to the club. Being the fan girls that we are we were first in queue and right at front of the barriers, we didn't bother getting a drink because we actually wanted to enjoy the night but the atmosphere already was electric and we met so many people and had conversations with and shared our stories of gigs which you don't tend to do on normal nights out. 

The night started out with the DJ warming up for Don Broco, Ryan Stannik, his set was so good and he was such a good host and played a great variety of music. One of the guys working for District came to me and my housemate Chloe and told us Don Broco weren't on for another 90 minutes because we were waiting all night (no shame) but we stayed enjoying the music and atmosphere! Then we spotted Matt and Simon making their way to the stage and lucky me I got a photo with Matt and it was one of the best moments of my life! Just to meet one of my favourite musicians just made everything worth the wait. They're set also was amazing, everyone singing along to their favourite songs made the whole experience just magical and so much fun!

District had a competition unknown to me and Chloe and chose their 3 favourite photos and whichever got the most likes the two people in the photos won Bring Me The Horizon tickets! They chose the funniest and most unflattering picture of me and Chloe singing like we were in the choir and we WON! It was such a funny moment but it showed that we were in the moment!

District have so many events on including free pizza night tonight which I wish I could go to however I have other commitments however I will be going most mondays that I am in Bournemouth! 

Thank you District for bringing rock music into Bournemouth student scene! 

So any rock fans out there in Bournemouth or Southampton go check District out!

If not in Bournemouth im sure theres some night like this!

Fake Bake Delight

Hey guys, 

As a fair skinned girl I find it very difficult to tan and I like being tanned! I love being pale because its who I am but I prefer being tanned as I feel healthier! But in the UK I don't tan even in a heat wave and if I do tan I burn. But abroad when I went to Turkey I had a great tan and it lasted a week! As I said in my last blog Cyprus made me look like a tomato! I've tried several Fake Tans which give me a glisten of sunkissed look but it wasn't enough for me I wanted an Instant Tan that lasted me a week at least without looking too orange or tanned as it would'nt look natural! 

So after trying 4 fake tans, I decided to try Fake Bake. I bought the Beyond Bronze, Instant Wash off Premium Tan for Face and Body - Matte Medium. I've always used mousse's before but I found that the matte applied alot better but also the colour seemed alot more darker too and I only needed to apply 1 layer as previously I needed to apply 2 or more to get the right level of tan. I got this product from Boots and it was around £9 if I remember correctly! I've had this tan on for 4/5 days now and the tan is still very much there! It's a great level of tan, easy to apply and dries really fast! 

As a student, I like to go out a few times a week so this product is great to keep on top of your tan and to maintain it and especially for me preserving my holiday tan! Also the smell of the tan is nice compared to others as it's not too over-powering. So ladies (or guys) make sure you check out their products cause there is a wide range of stuff they have! 

Fake Bake - you now have an avid fan and user of your products!
