Ed Sheeran...

If you've been reading my blog long enough you'll know that I have an undying love for Ed Sheeran. I saw him for the first time back in January and blogged about it here where I was lucky enough to actually meet him, this time round I wasn't so much... Though waiting for two hours in the freezing cold with bottles of adnams broadside as a present (so he'd obviously fall in love with me, duh?) was deffinitly an experience I'm not eager to repeat. Just in case you were wondering he didn't actually come out in the end anyway I'll shut up about the negatives.

As always it was one of the best gigs ever! I took my brother well I say take... I actually made him buy the tickets in the first place! It was his first time seeing Ed perform so I was just excited that he hadn't actually seen the band before me like he normally has. The support acts were also pretty decent though I preferred Passenger out of the two he was so funny and well just adorable, I'm planning to try and go to his solo tour in January! Unlike most gigs I often go to where they have you waiting for ages between each support and then for the main act We had Ed on stage being of course amazing within and hour and he did 2 full hours with all his + album as well as a few old tracks though in my opinion not enough I LOVE HIS OLD(ISH) MUSIC and I love when I see people with ed painted on there face not knowing the words because they only know the "popular" tacks. Yes I'm one of those fans who is remotely smug and awful over such things, I'm sorry I can't help it!

I'll say now what I've said before if you ever get the opportunity to see Ed Sheeran DO IT. You will never be disappointed (unless you wait in the rain and cold to try and meet him) and he truly puts his all into every show and is generally amazing live. I do realise I'm bias because I also have a pretty big crush on him!

Keep Calm and Play Louder.

I don't want to write pages and pages about this (though I could very easily!) On Saturday night went to the 02 Apollo in Manchester to see my all time favourite band, McFly I haven't missed a tour since I was 13 and I've loved them since I was ten, which was when they first started almost 9 years which is crazy!

For all the tour dates but one I've been with my friend Mary (who is the main person in the bottom picture with me, please ignore Elly jumping in, haha!) Last tour we ended up on second row then somehow jumped to right in front of Tom Fletcher, which was amazing. This time round the 4 of us ( Elly, Mary, me and Mary's friend from uni Eilidh) we somehow ended up behind friends and family meaning we were surround by the boys really fit girlfriends (how depressing) and Antony Cotton which was brilliant though I fear I deafened him by the end!

further down the row in front of Mary was James Michael who was on XFactor... we first bumped into him as soon as we walked in and I grabbed him because it was Mary's 19th and she wanted a pictures (more like I did) next think we know hes grabbing us and mushing his face into my cheek for a picture and going on about how cool it is to come to McFly on your birthday! Then the best thing happened he sang Happy Birthday to Mary and it wasn't the best I've ever heard him we were all in fits of laughter!

Now I'm going to finish with I heard 3 of McFlys new songs and they are AMAZING I'd forgotten how much I loved them and how insane they are live! Even if your not a massive fan of them you will like these songs, Fangirl for life.

Wonderland.

Here are just a few snaps I took of a display in Leicester where I'm at uni. It was just up for Christmas as far as I'm aware but look how pretty it is and some of the characters move from side to side as well. I wanted to take some outfit pictures in front of them but on both accounts of me going to see them it was pouring with rain and I didn't think drowned rat was quite a good look to show you all!

I'm going to try and promise to post again before Christmas as I have a few more to do but alas tomorrow is an extremely busy day if you follow me on twitter you may already know that I'm seeing the One Direction boys in Manchester tomorrow afternoon (yes its a matinee show... so full of kids I'm planning on having a drink before I go just so I can survive the day!)

See you with a broken string, tell me what you really mean, do you know what you want?

See you with a broken string, tell me what you really mean, do you know what you want? While beating up on yesterday, I was on my Rollerblades, rolling on moving on.

On Sunday October 31s which was Halloween. I saw the ever quirky and adorable Eliza Doolittle when she supported Paloma faith and i must say she was really good. Before I went I knew who Eliza was and I'd heard a couple of her songs but now I am definitely going to buy the album I loved every sing song the beauty sang! These photographs were taken at the gig itself, I keep on seeing pictures coming up in my searches and its just so cool to think "yeah, I was there". Anyway the more full views of the whole band and Eliza were taken by me with my basic digital camera on zoom and the full detailed images where you can see her costume were taken by a professional photographer for gigwise.

As it was Halloween Eliza did dress up as a kind of zombie/dead wife and her band were all beautifully dressed as her "ex husbands" it was truly very well done. I also met Eliza after the show and she signed my ticket and had a photo with me, which was so lovely because I know from experience that not all bands or singers will meet the fans. Though in the excitement I forgot to ask the questions I had actually been thinking off. One being where was her dress from? or was it vintage as I thought or inspired by it and made by a label?

So I decided I'd tweet Eliza and ask but what are the honest chances of a singer with 22 thousand follows plus replying, well low and behold she did saying it was borrowed of a friend of hers and to definitely ask her! well I thought it was really nice of her to reply to my question. I am yet to sent a tweet to her friend but my twitters not working but once it is I most totally am going to!

have any of you lovely readers been to any good gigs recently or have you got any planned, I'd love to know.

EDIT... Eliza's lovely friend she borrowed the dress off tweeted me back and i was right it was vintage.

Me and My Cellulite...

This video was taken by a rather wonderful person in the crowd, who also has a wonderful camera as this video is actually very well done. Me and My Cellulite is one of Paloma faith's new songs from her second album (which she hasn't even finished yet, she just wanted to test some of the songs out on us first before she put them on the album) and i have to say that i flipping love this song! It may have to become my own personal theme tune.

I also thing that personally Paloma is showing a healthy and normal view for women today instead of the generic outputs female artists portray. In fact i may love Paloma more than i love Beth Ditto, so this is a big deal. Right now i am sitting at my desk listening to "my legs are week" and just thinking how can anyone not love her powerful, unique and inspirational voice and lyrics.

I will get some of the photo's i took up as soon as possible as well as the shots the professionals took so you can see HOW AMAZING her costumes were! I'm still gutted that when i met her (yes you heard right, i did!) i forgot to ask her who designed them, instead i just babbled something about blogging, ooh the embarrassment. Anyway i should get some work done...
