I met Nathan Sykes? 12/04/15

Hiya guys, Another week meant another concert for me (this is the last one until June). This time I went to see Nathan Sykes at the Ruby Lounge in Manchester. Many of you may know him as 1/5 of the band The Wanted, and this was his first tour since going solo. I got there at 12:00 and met a girl at the venue whom I met online who introduced me to some of her friends she had met. It's weird how fast 7 hours go when you make friends. At every other gig he went out before and we started to worry when he didn't come out but it meant that I could chill near his tour bus with one of the girls I had met and spoke about TW things that I hadn't spoken about for some time.  I was excited getting inside because I was on the 2nd-ish row from the stage. I was next to two lovely girls from Liverpool and they were very helpful in relation to my height issue (being 18 and 5ft 1 never works), they made space to get me as close to the front as I could. Jerry, the suppor

I am quiet 'and' a dreamer 'and' ambitious! - Inspired by Venus and SprinkleofGlitter

Hiya Guys, Venus have a campaign called 'Use Your 'And'' and I love that it's all about 'Putting an end to one-dimensional labels that limit potential.' This post is going to be more meaningful, as Louise ( SprinkleofGlitter)  asked her viewers to write about my story I am going to say what I think my 'and' is and how it is significant. What defines who I am and what makes me the person I am. I was always quiet, I still am. I'm not pretty, or special or talented in anyway so blending into the background sort of took over my life, I didn't want to be the centre of attention out. People viewed me as, 'the quiet one,' because I barely spoke in lessons and only ever spoke out when I was with my friends, that was there label for me and it stuck. I think this my 'and' came from growing up and wanting to be something in life. I have always dreamt about being different things and these dreams have allowed me to live the

Lawson Mini Tour

Hiya guys, Sonal here again, two posts within the space of 7 days must be a new record for me! Another week signalled another concert for me, and this time it was Lawson at Gorilla in Manchester. I have been a fan of them since 2011 and was so excited seeing them again! Considering I was waiting in the cold and the rain for 3 solid hours, I was happy to walk into Gorilla and find that I was pretty much 3 rows from the front. I situated myself on the left side because on the Chapman Square Tour I was on the right in front of Ryan, so I thought 'Why not treat myself to some Joel Peat' so that's what I did. I took my sister and my mum (who is a huge fan too) and it almost felt like a bonding session because it was the first time either of them had the privilege to see them live so I was excited and nervous. I don't normally get too excited by the support acts but Andreas Moe was definitely an exception. From the way he managed to play 3 instruments in his
