As someone who always has a handful of concerts and gigs booked at any one time, I (as well as millions of others) have been missing live shows lately. So when I got an email from the O2 advertising their backstage tour, I jumped at the chance to go. I thought, if I still can’t […]

Grief Awareness Day
Today is Grief Awareness Day. As painful as it is, it is something we all go through in life and addressing it at the time is the healthiest thing to do, even though it may feel like the worst thing in the world. A song that I think sums up grief and how to deal […]
Top 10 Albums
My question to you today is… If you were leaving planet Earth on a spaceship and you could only take 10 albums with you, what would they be? Before I wrote this post, I thought the amount should be 5 albums, not 10, but this was far, far too difficult for me, so I doubled […]
Happy National Rum Day
“Let’s put our hearts togetherTwo parts love and a pinch of good weatherAnd top it all off with the sunAnd mix it with rum, mmm, mmm, mm, mm” Rum by Brothers Osborne is the best song to celebrate today: National Rum Day. As rum is my favourite drink, I never need an excuse to pour […]

Music collections and obsessions
A few years ago, I started collecting the ‘Now That’s What I Call Music’ albums on CD and vinyl. I’m not doing too bad so far, but it’s such a thrill to be able to track down some of the rarer copies and I hope to one day have the whole collection (yes, I am […]

I have uploaded a new playlist today – songs that are instrumental only – no vocals to be heard on this playlist! Click this link to go straight to my Spotify page or click on the Playlist tab. I hope you enjoy it and feel free to suggest any songs you think would be a […]

For example: List your top twenty favourite bands List the best concerts and music festivals you’ve seen List the best soundtracks List a song that reminds you of each lover you’ve […]
