A while since my last post I know, but in my defence I have been v busy and also going through the emotional rollercoaster that is having a new bathroom fitted!! Oh my God, who knew one room could cause so much disruption! In a nutshell… old terraced house, massive old hideous purple bathroom, knackered boiler (that turned out to be knackered pipework), cupboard hiding un-capped chimney, gut room completely, leaks galore, get plastered by horrible chain smoking plasterer, new showerwall panels that wouldn't fit up the stairs, many damaged/missing items, porcelain tiles (to replace returned showerwall panels) which are an absolute pain in the rear don't buy them, oh and more leaks! That's a long nutshell! |

Guess who's back? Back again. No it's not Eminem, just Em - getting back into the blogging saddle after far too long away! I've been very busy since my last post and have lots to tell you about, though i won't bore you with work and the everyday things that get in the way of fun. Towards the end of last year I had a 'glut' of gigs (they are a bit like buses and always seem to come all at once) Ed Sheeran, Tinie Tempah, Bev, Friendly Fires. I'll review these in due course, better late than never I always say. |

We went up to Manchester yesterday to see Take That, yay! Me, Rach, Ruth & Lou were the crew. Tickets - check. Car sweets - check. Road trip music - check. Sitting in the back of a car nausea - check. Pit stop in chavvy pub - check. England doing rubbish at football - check. Get slightly lost - check. Park in car park run by over familiar men - check. Join throngs of over dressed women - check. Arrive at Eastlands - check. |

Hello strangers! Yet again I am falling short on the blog front which is very annoying as there is lots of brilliant music I'd like to write about. One of my favourite artists Beverley Knight is doing the rounds promoting her next tour and album and belting out some great performances and I've not even got round to writing a post about that - I hang my head in shame. But fear not, my lovely friend Rach has sent me another gig review, all hail Rach! |

Having decided to buy tickets to this gig on the strength of one song, we knew that we’d be hearing most of the set for the first time. The Junction is a relatively small venue but it had drawn a good crowd and the band were given a warm reception with plenty of encouragement from the throngs of men in the audience who’d clearly heard a girl only band was in town! |

Just a quickee as I have work I should be doing but I can't get this song out of my head, it's beautiful, so I just needed to share this fact with you. Have a look at the video and see if you agree? It goes on sale 13th June which seems like a bit too long to wait, I'm being impatient I know but like I said it's my 'earworm' at the moment. |

But help is at hand, I have a knight in skinny fit armour who has kindly written a review for me to post on ichoon - what a hero. So here is young Jacob's first of I hope many reviews on ichoon, he seems to have got the hang of this reviewing lark, maybe one day I will too *sigh. |

Hello hello, I hope you are all making the most of this unusually sunny and seemingly endless Bank Holiday bonanza! I have been enjoying a well earned week and a bit off, back to the grind for most of us tomorrow. This time last week I was getting ready to go and see Adele (yes I know the review is v delayed but better late than never - right?) |

What a beautiful day, certainly too nice to be stuck in a sunlight starved office (boo) this is beer garden weather peeps! Unleash your pasty little legs and get out there. Too busy for blogging of late but have got to squeeze one in because I'm loving this song at the moment, so this is short but very sweet. |
