Dido In Concert 2019

Is it bad that I only know two of her songs? That’s right she’s a singer not a prehistoric bird (Dodo). Although at the age of 47 years old, I wonder is her voice as strong as it use to be? Not being ageist but if Sir Paul McCartney’s croaking at the London 2012 olympicsContinue reading “Dido In Concert 2019”

Have You Ever Been Afraid To Give Something Like This A Try?

Having embarked on my audio journey last winter in the form of a 10 week course with Reprezent radio, a youth-led community radio station here in London, as a result, I developed a bit of a love affair with making radio shows. Whether it was good audio content is questionable but nevertheless I enjoyed makingContinue reading “Have You Ever Been Afraid To Give Something Like This A Try?”

Isle of Wight Festival – The Experience

Like a herd of African wildebeest, me and what seemed like the whole world and it’s dog made our steady way from our campsite to the main event. As the muffled sounds of electric guitars and pounding drums became clearer and clearer with very step closer, my excitement crescendoed to new climatic heights (ew). SecurityContinue reading “Isle of Wight Festival – The Experience”

Isle of Wight Festival – The Journey

Getting up at 6 am may be easy for some, but for us mere mortals it’s somewhat of a challenge. Either way, I had to drag myself onto the train to meet my old university mates who were also making the jaunt to the island.   Fast forward, skipping a rather boring car journey (ofContinue reading “Isle of Wight Festival – The Journey”

Music To Your Ears

Although I can’t sing a note in key to save myself, the bottom line is – I.LOVE.MUSIC From dancing to writing about it in magazines, I just can’t seem to get enough of it!   My favourite genres are Hip-Hop and Reggaeton but I do dabble in the odd bit of trance and classics everyContinue reading “Music To Your Ears”

Silent Disco?

Always keen to try something atleast once, I thought I’d lend my supple body to a bit of shape throwing in a silent room full of strangers. Yes, the Natural History Museum in South Kensington is home to the type of event suitable for just about anybody, from dancing dads to tameful clubbers, the eventContinue reading “Silent Disco?”

Why I Wish I Was Multilingual

As an avid fan of Reggaeton I find myself desperately attempting to sing along to the lyrics of ‘Con Altura’ by Rosalia, J Balvin and El Guincho. Singing words in your own head, away from the judgmental eyes of the general public is one thing, but anytime I pluck up the courage to sing alongContinue reading “Why I Wish I Was Multilingual”

Robots Are The New Songwriters – Is This Morally Right?

Warner Music Group’s newest addition to their ‘artist’ roster is that of an algorithm addict destined to make your newest jam, pretty much an alexa with an insatiable interest in generating sound while simultaneously reading your heart rate and circadian rhythm. Designed with the aim in mind to produce 20 albums this year, each containingContinue reading “Robots Are The New Songwriters – Is This Morally Right?”

I’m Making A Radio Show

If ever there was a time I was more nervous, it would have to have been the day I mixed colours with whites while doing the clothes washing. But only once, and only then! *Mum forgive me! But why am I so nervous about making a radio show? And more importantly, why exactly am IContinue reading “I’m Making A Radio Show”

Raves: Are They More About The Visuals Than The Music?

Step over the threshold of any sketchy dilapidated warehouse these days and you find yourself either having the time of your life, or fighting for it. If it’s not the epilepsy inducing strobe lighting making your childhood disco look like a piece of trash then it’s the pounding synths from the Deadmau5 wannabee on theContinue reading “Raves: Are They More About The Visuals Than The Music?”

Audio: What’s In A Tattoo?

What’s In A Tattoo?   Do you have  tattoo? If yes/no, why? Are they works of art, or, blights to our sight? For some they are sentimental expressions of inner emotions, for others, regrets on a drunken night out which they can’t live down. When I see someone with a tattoo I think to myselfContinue reading “Audio: What’s In A Tattoo?”
