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. 

Thanks for reading xo

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!

Wild, Wild, Wild...

Hey, 

So since I've been back at uni I have started to work out again since my holiday and being ill for 3 weeks! I've started the Kayla Itsines 12 Week Guide 1, the first session did me good! Forgot how hard these sessions were but so rewarding! Even after stretching and yoga I had DOMs all over! But I am feeling alot better and gaining more shape!

I do miss going to Fitspace but it's too far to travel however I have decided to join the gym at uni for unlimited access to classes so me and my lovely housemates can do workouts together and I plan to do endurance spin classes for LISS but also HIIT, Pump (a weights/barbell based class) and Yoga! 

Now, I have made a life changing decision... I've always chosen chocolate or vanilla protein and for me those flavours were always too sweet/sickly for me. But I bought The Protein Works - Protein Whey 80 Concentrate in Wild Raspberry flavour. It's amazing! Honestly it tastes exactly like a raspberry sorbet or like having raspberry sauce on top of vanilla ice cream and I cannot get enough! I seriously recommend trying all the different flavours as there are many! Also look at the different types of protein too! The Protein Works offers so many different products and at a great price too! 

I am currently writing this in bed resting after my full body 30 minute resistance circuit workout having my shake at this moment and I'm craving more! is that bad?

Havea good rest of the week!

End of Summer Blow Out - New Chapter

Hi Guys! 

Welcome to my new blog and my first post. I decided to start a new blog because I found that I lost focus over the summer and decided to start afresh especially as I am starting my second year at university! This summer I worked 6 days a week and 30+ hours a week so that pretty much took up my whole summer and unfortunately I lost my best friend and had to do the unimaginable and put our loving pet dog down Rocky, he was only 8 years old but kept having to have operations due to tumours and it was the hardest thing I've had to go through and my family as well. However, although we are still feeling so guilty we are glad that he is no longer in pain and our whole world is lost without him. 

However, I went to Ayia Napa, Cyprus recently which has been booked for a while and although I felt guilty because it was so soon after Rocky it was great for me to get away and enjoy myself before I headed back to university. I went with my closest friend Chloe, we departed from Gatwick Airport which compared to other airports I've flown to its massive! We flew with Thomson and luckily flew on it's new plane the Dreamliner, which was amazing for many reasons! 1. They had TV's to watch movies, music, games and much more 2. Had rainbow lighting in the aisle 3. We were able to dim outr windows if we wanted to sleep. Flying into Larnaca was amazing because we flew right over the beach and the heat hit you straight away.

We arrived to our hotel, Petrosana Apartments, it was stunningly beautiful, clean, friendly staff and so close to everything central of Ayia Napa! Now our main timetable of our holiday was to wake up (whatever time that was usually 1pm) breakfast, go to the pool, beach or shopping then go out in the evening. Now the food was amazing and so cheap, it was mainly british food but we found an amazing Chinese restaurant by far the most amazing food we have ever tasted! We went to two beaches, Sunny Bay Beach about a 5 minute walk away, windy but quiet which made it so nice to relax and on the first day I may have got really bad sunburn! But no matter how much suncream I put on me and my pale skin will always burn! But it soon went to a nice brown! There was also Nissi Beach about a 10 minute taxi ride (8 euros) it was stunning, the sea was so blue and warm and wasn't windy but had the most amazing umbrellas for shade, definitely recommend visiting this place!

 

The main attraction to our holiday was definitely the bars and clubs! It was end of season so was quiet but still busy and there weren't as many Brits as I thought there would be but we got to meet amazing people from so many countries! We would start off in Craigs Bar so cheap and is 2.50 euro for a drink and 3 shots so that got us going for the night! Next was Simos Bar with the best two reps there every night they were so accomodating and funny and always got us drunk witht the 2 litre fishbowl but they were so entertaining! Next up was Carwash, we went in there once and I would think of Popworld or Decade Music to describe this so it was refreshing. Then came Rubix Bar where you could get many offers especially our favourite free cocktail offer! We had a cocktail called the Singapore (something - can't remember the rest!) but Rob the rep persuaded us to get the Cherry Kiss which was amazing so thank you Rob you are an awesome rep! I would also recommend Aruba, Black n White and Starskys bar they have awesome deals and have amazing music! We met so many people and made amazing memories! But the best of all was on the last night getting my nose peirced and my first tattoo matching with my friend. We both got love hearts and I got mine on the back of my neck!

All together it was an amazing holiday and I have serious Napa Blues! 

So this is the start of my new blog. It will include, live music events, fitness blogs, my never changing choker all black outfits and more! 

Although my recent purchase of this Miss Guided dress is about 3% of my bright coloured clothing! 

See you soon for my next blog! 

Its all about moving day into my new house in Bournemouth ready to start second year!

Bye xo
