Day out In Brighton

Hello everyone! Well, If you have seen my previous Monday posts you will know that I normally do 'Music Monday' but unusually, I have a pretty exciting weekend that, if it's ok, I'd like to share with you :) 

Well, So on Saturday me and my friends Becca, Holly and Lauren went to the pretty coastal city of Brighton to see The Midnight Beast (which was ironic because there gig was actually at midday) and Bastille at The Great Escape Festival! I used to go to Brighton a lot when I was younger so It was nice to revisit a part of my childhood with good friends and great bands!

Two of my favorite bands in one place at the same time woah

We joined the queue for The Midnight Beast as we were standing and I'm glad we did when we did because within about 10 minutes the queue had reached the end of the high street and we actually made it into the local newspaper for road blocking! 

So, since the last time I went to Brighton I was about 6 or 7 (a good 8 years ago woah) so obviously I was too young to understand why Brighton was so popular with the men and just my luck, there was a ladyboy festival on close by, it was quite interesting though. 

Long story short, The Midnight Beast were absolutely amazing as expected, although I don't think I have ever been hotter in the crowd! We all came out a bit starstruck as The band had pointed at us in songs numerous times. But we headed to the stage door to see if we could meet them but unfortunately everyone had had the same idea and we didn't get to meet them (just yet) Although, behinds there was a gay strip going on in the middle of the street. My innocence is gone and I'm officially disturbed.

 So now we had the awkward couple of hours to kill before Bastille at 7:30 pm. So we decided to get some lunch and head down to Brighton Beach :)

It was so so nice to finally it sit down after the 5 hours of standing, and next to Brighton pier was a bonus! It was weird because even though TMB (The Midnight Beast) had apparently left, I still felt that they were in Brighton but me being obsessive, I thought it was just another one of my fantasy's.

We headed back to the venue's and wondered around for a while, just exploring, When I looked to my left to see Ashley (one of the band members) overtaking me! He was then followed by the rest of the band and the band's girlfriends! Obviously by this point I was freaking out and the dancers who had gone in front of us started to laugh. Unfortunately, I didn't go up to them as I got a vibe that they didn't want me to as they were with there girlfriends, So me and my friends kept our distance and pretended to watch the street act that they were watching. We then hung around for a bit just discussing what had actually just happened when there Van started to leave. The van had windows that you couldn't see in but they could see you, so I don't even want to know what they thought of us! But I just gave a sweet wave and turned my back to them (nicely of course, just to show that I'm not trying to stalk them)

The van started to move but then came to an abrupt stop, to which Stefan Abingdon (my inspiration and favorite band member) got out of the van to come and see us! I got a hug, we had a little chat and a joke or two, and then this happened!

I get butterflies everytime I see this because he means so much to me and I have been waiting to get a photo with him for almost two years! My eyes are saying 'oh my god Stefan Abingdon is holding me' so that's why I look a bit murderous!

Ok, all joking aside ,this was the actual time they left and I was over the moon with what just happened! Thank you Holly for taking the picture! :) 

By this time it was Bastille next! Which really topped of the day as they were incredible, definitely one of the best concerts anyone can ever experience, I can't wait to see them again in October!

We were seated and this was a pretty good view!

Well that was my day! It was full of celebrities (we bumped into Rizzle Kicks at least twice) tame squirrels  (they would just climb up you leg to get food in your hand) and really nice people! (everyone is Brighton is SO nice, we could talk to anyone and get along with them, we even made some new friends)
Sorry, this post has been so long, but I hope you enjoyed it :)

Music Monday #3

Hello Everyone! I hope you have all enjoyed a lovely (and very sunny) bank holiday! This week is the third in the series of 'Music Mondays' - just a quick re-cap if you don't know what 'Music Monday' is, Basically I just say my top 5 favorite songs of the week, as they pretty much change weekly! :) 

1.Bastille - Of the Night 
This song is amazing - They mixed together Rhythm Is A Dancer and Rhythm Of The Night in one successful song! 

2. Bastille - Requiem for Blue Jeans

Yeah, I have been listening to Bastille a bit this week... Ages ago, they covered 'Blue Jeans' by Lana Del Rey (another one of my favourite artists) but they put their own personal twist on it! To make this song even better, at the end they faded into 'Flaws', another population song by Bastille.

3. Hoodie Allen - #WhiteGirlProblems

Hoodie has popped up again! This is old an older album called 'Leap Year' and I just really like this song because he mixes an old stereotypical pop song into his rap song, it was quite a risky decision but it worked out really well! :)

4. Muse - Follow Me

I'm pretty sure I have mentioned this song before, but I still absolutely love this. I'm not normally fan of this type of music, but Muse is the only exception. 

5.  Ben Howard - Old Pine

This is such a beautiful song - I recently bought his album and I don't regret it! Ben Howard really is talented. 

Well, there is a wide range of music genres there haha! I hope you enjoyed this post! 

~ Thank you for reading ~

p.s I need to share this with you! Basically, I love youtubers, my favourite is pointlessblog aka Alfie! and he replied to me on youtube on Saturday night, I still can't believe it! Ok sorry bye x

Music Monday #1

Hello everyone! How was your weekend? I went to the beach on Sunday and it was really relaxing! unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures (because I forgot) Otherwise I would of put some in right about now... I have also been so so busy revising Science as I have my first GCSE on the 14th of May *eek* So 

 I haven't really prepared a blog post, but I just thought of a good idea! What if every Monday I told you my top 5 favourite songs of that week? I'll give it a go :)

1. Technicolour - Mumm-ra : I only recently found out about this song from the lovely Tanya Burr's new video and I really love it!  

  2. Stay Out - Nina Nesbitt: I heard this song a lot of times on the radio and to be honest, it took me a good 6 times to like it, but now I can't stop listening to it :) 

3. Fame is for a******s by Hoodie Allen: I found out about this rapper by the song "The Chase Is On" which I still really love! You have to have a certain music taste to like this guy I think, It's the type of artist you either love or hate.*might contain some rude words, just a heads up* 

4. Weight Of Living Pt 1 by Bastille: I am so excited to see these guys next month because all of there songs are absolutely amazing, but this is one of my favourite! It's so upbeat and happy! *I can't find a video of it, but it's on their debut album 'Bad Blood'* 

5. No words - The Script : This is one of my favourite songs on the album for some unknown reason because it's not as exciting as Hall of Fame, but it's still pretty damn good! 

So that's it really! Do you like this idea? Let me know!

What to do

Hiya, So It's always on my mind about what I want to be when I'm older. I'm not one of those people who aim to be an astronaut or a future prime minister because I think it's better to set your aims low and be pleased when you do better than expected, rather than setting aims high and being disappointed when you don't reach your goals. If you get me. Many people set their standards high to give them something to aim for, but I just do the best I can and hope that's enough to get me to where I want to be. So, without further ado, here are some of the things I would like to be when I'm older: 

= A tour bus driver =

Can you imagine driving much adored bands/singers around different countries on tours? You're being paid to go on a road trip constantly and who doesn't like a good road trip? Imagine, you could be driving around America, or England or Australia for days on end. Surely a road trip around America is everyone's dream deep down. I'm not going to lie, but I think I would be really arrogant and cocky to the whoever band i'm driving around fans, because I get to be with them 24/7 and see them in their boxers whilst the fangirls just kiss their posters. HA

= A radio presenter=

As you can probably tell, I like to talk. So I think a radio presenter would be amazing. You can talk about anything on air and interview lots awesome people. You also don't get judged on what you look like because all that people see is your voice. Unless you have a really annoying voice, Nothing can go wrong. 

= A Concert bouncer =

Yeah so it doesn't sound as good as it looks but hey ho. In case you don't know, concert bouncers are the people at the front of concerts maybe handing out water or just supervising really. You basically get to the front of gigs for free. Although, I'd probably get fired for going in with the crowd and letting fans on stage haha oops. It'll be a good experience I think. 

= Work in Costa/Starbucks/Lush =

Costa Coffee, Starbucks and Lush. You'd get a staff discount. enough said. 

Well, That's all at the moment. I'd like to do something with animals but I'm not sure what area yet. I'm pretty sure in a few years time I'll look back at this and laugh. Well to the future me, You're probably sitting on your fat ass so you can't say anything.
