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 support act, was such an amazing singer and captured everyday life of a girl in sweet and calm songs. 

Nathan came on at 8:00, starting with a new song 'Twist.' It really got me excited for his new album and I felt myself getting into the music more than I could've ever imagined. I swayed and sang and as if Nathan and I were the only two people in the room.

 As I said with McBusted, it is the ability to make a person feel alone in a room full of people that makes you an amazing artist. I was confused because Nathan said he hadn't been able to speak an hour earlier, but his voice was so strong and it seemed faultless and effortless. I also loved his song 'Over and Over Again' where he played the keyboard, I was close to tears but in a good way. All his lyrics meant something to him and to me in some way. With 'Rolling in the Deep' by Adele and 'More Than You'll Ever Know' there were songs we knew and with the latter, a song to get down and seductive with (it's a sexy song). The hour and a bit passed in a flash but it was a nice flash.



At 9:45 the entire concert fell out happily and stumbled to the back to meet Nathan. We had waited and we were unsure whether Nathan could meet all of us but he didn't disappoint and not only did he take pictures with us, he held a conversation with every single one of us- me included. When I walked up to him my heart wasn't beating fast because it was almost unreal, it still is and when he saw me he was the sweetest human being around. He said and I got my photo, but bless him even though his voice was going he spoke to me normally. He made sure that I was getting home safely and we spoke about driving and I hugged him and I know it may seem over-rated but it really made a tough year seem brighter.


I would definitely recommend anyone to see this boy live and no just because I am a huge Nathan/ TW fan but because I am a huge music fan and he is the epitome of talent. Thank you Nathan Sykes for an amazing night and for being such a gentleman when meeting every single one of us. Thank you to the 5 girls I met and hung out with all day and was there when I met Nathan...

That's all for now my dears,
See you soon

Introducing me!

Hiya guys,  This is my first ever blog post, I was going to say of the year, but it is actually my first one ever! I think it is necessary to introduce myself to all you beautiful people.  My name is Sonal Lad and I am a below average 18 year old girl from England!  I started this blog because I have always been interesting in writing to a mass audience and I believe that this could be the starting point of trying to get into journalism. I also love the idea of being able to interact with people from all over the world on issues that are dear to my heart!  I think as time goes on, you will get to know me a lot more and hopefully I get to know all of you guys a lot better! That's all for now my dears, See you soon xx

Fresher's Ball in my 2nd Year

Hiya guys, I'm currently writing this blog post after 3 mental days which included; going to the Fresher's ball as a 2nd year (that's the topic of today), turning 20 and bringing my Mancunian friends to the big city. The latter two are pretty much irrelevant for today's post but I mean they all sort of blend together I think. The Fresher's Ball is done at pretty much every university in England and is a way for first year's to end their 'relaxation' period and get ready for the real work. I missed last year's because I went home for my sisters birthday so I was even more determined to go this and have an epic time. Also, the fact that it was the day before my 20th Birthday seemed like fate because why wouldn't I want to start my birthday with my friends dancing like we were 1st years and drunk - although I was sober the entire night. The Ball was on the university campus and seemed less formal and more like an awesome club night ba...

Strictly Top 5 - Claudia and AJ

Hiya guys, The Strictly tour has been over for a while but my brain hasn't wrapped itself around the fact that I have to wait until September for it too start again. But, these Strictly posts are going to keep coming until I've maybe done one for every bit of Strictly possible. If you follow me on any of my social media, or have followed my last few posts, you'll know that Claudia Fragapane and AJ Pritchard were one of my favourite couples in the show and I was gutted that they didn't make it to the final. It wasn't just because they were amazing together and danced amazingly, I think it helped that they are pretty similar age as me (Claudia is 19, I'm 20 and AJ is 22) so I liked seeing some younger people dancing! I know that I put some of their dances in my other top 5's, but I'm going to do one anyway because most of their dances were phenomenal . 1. Jive to Hey Mickey If only there hadn't been that little slip up near the begin...
