London

On Thursday Me and Tom trekked it to London, I'd bought him tickets to see M83 for his 21st in the summer and I jumped at the chance to take 2 days off work!! It was one of the best gigs I've ever been to, it finished pretty early which meant we had extra time to squeeze in drinks with my big brother....we spent the evening talking about hobby horses, one pound fish and drinking shots of cointreau. Oh I also accidentally invented something called the gardigan, which is wearing the guardian as a cardigan, don't pretend like you're not impressed.

Before we went to the gig we went for some cocktails in Seven bar in Brixton




As I mentioned in a previous post, this summer i spent building a 9 flight stair case (below is a picture of the staircase) It's in a private gallery in London called Marlborough Arts. It was right round the corner from the ritz, we were by far the scruffiest people in that part of London, we actually heard a woman talking about how embarrassed she was to be carrying a Sainsburys bag.

Ben Howard

Last night me and Tom went to see Ben Howard at Plymouth Pavilions, it was such a fun night! Admittedly, in a crowd of 4000 my height impairment drastically reduced my visual field and I spent most of the evening staring blankly into the back of a very tall man but that only added to the excitement of the few times I managed to catch a glimpse of his hair (mighty fine hair at that)! Because we didn't feel like be subjected to the rip off drink prices in the arena and I wanted an excuse to use my birthday hip flask, we sneaked in some wine (classy birds). 

Here's a picture of my outfit, looking especially 90's with the cropped top. I could have easily stepped off the set of Sabrina the Teenage Witch

It was really nice to hear him live, his sound with the band is so different from the recorded stuff on his album. Here is my favourite song from his new EP, it's a bit darker than his older stuff but I really like it, I'd go so far as to say I prefer it......
