Travel Blogger w/a Day Job. Loves Festivals, and London. 
Not long till Field Day now – 25 May 2013. I’ve gone through the whole line up – relistened to the artists I love and checked out the few that I’ve never ruddy bloody heard of. It’s been a long, joyful and interesting process. I love doing this as it [...]
#1 Electronic mash ups Ever heard of Bastille? I’m fully aware that I’m quite late to the Bastille Party here and that it’s not just the name of a bank holiday in France. They’ve been around since 2010, but I’ve only just cottoned onto their excellence. I mean they mix [...]
So, your Glastonbury tickets are in the bank, you’ve read up on how to survive the best festival in the world and you’ve learned from my Glastonbury mistakes, what next? When it comes to Glastonbury, you can never be too prepared, too early. For first timers I’d advise you to come up [...]
It was my first time at Glastonbury and we wanted to get there early, so we stayed at the YHA in Baththe night before. It was a good meeting point for the crew as we were coming from all over England. After a delicious pub meal and a few red [...]

Songs about lions – what better way to get excited for my big trip to the Serengeti National Park in t-minus 24 days? The Lion King is my most favourite film and story of all time. I remember going to see it – Oh my god I just had to [...]
For this #TuesTop10 I decided to collect together some of my favourite female singers. I have a real thing for a raspy voice that sounds a bit raw as it pushes through and out. Out of this playlist I’ve only seen Florence + The Machine and Esben + The Witch, [...]
Thanks to the Norway Top 20 Chart, YouTube and Wikipedia I’ve been having a joyful week listening to the music of Norway. From around 100 songs, I’ve decided the following #TuesTop10 are my favourite, or at least the most interesting. Electronica music is riding high in Norway at the moment, [...]
First up in the #TuesTop10 is a playlist I like to call ‘This Week I Have Been Mostly Listening To…’. It’s a mix of chart tunes that gets me up dancing (in my head at my desk anyway) and a few funky new songs that make me bounce. Let me [...]
