DIY: Finishing a Scrapbook
I’m such a sentimental person. I keep concert tickets, letters, cards, magazine cut-outs, anything that takes my interest, is too pretty to throw away, or has any sort of memory attached to it. I used to stick everything onto my…
Music: Amanda Palmer at Koko
Yeah yeah, I know what you’re thinking. Do I ever go and see any other musician EXCEPT Amanda Palmer? The answer is probably, ‘No’. This is the 3rd glitter fuelled, hilariously ridiculous outing to see Ms Palmer and her Grand…
Explore: Bestival 2012
After a flooded tent put a dampener on my Bestival experience last year, I swore I wouldn’t go back. But it turned out that I’d have to go with work this year which I was initially skeptical because of 2011’s…

This isn’t the first time I’ve written about a Brighton based male-female duo performing at Heaven. It seems it’s the place to hold a gig if you fit that particular description. But this isn’t another gush about the wonderful Bitter…
Geek: Douglas Adams: The Party – Hammersmith Apollo, 10/03/12
One of my favourite books of all time is ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’ by Douglas Adams. A book that’s loved worldwide wasn’t Adams’ only accomplishment, a lot of people don’t know that there were another 4 books in…
Music: Florence & the Machine – Alexandra Palace, 08/03/12
Florence Welch has a voice that is impossible to sing along to. It’s just too pitch perfect, hitting notes that are so far out of my range I fear I’d damage myself if I even attempted them. I worried that…
Music: Christmas Playlist
I’m obsessed with making lists. Apparently it’s a Virgo thing. Maybe it’s because I have to organise everything from my meals to my outfits weeks in advance. So obviously the next logical step is to share these lists with the…
