The Passenger

I realise that many of our recent posts have been about Music however it shows our passion and that passion to share the love with our followers...

Last weekend I had the fortunate opportunity of going to see an Ed Sheeran concert thanks to a friends invitation! He had two support acts and one of those acts was Mike or better know as 'Passenger'. His voice excuse my cheesy saying is 'what dreams are made of'. Just a chilled artist, beautiful voice... That's all I really have to say.

See for yourself here are some of his videos, give them a listen and see what you think!

Disclosure ft Sam Smith - Latch

I know I did a post about music the other day but I couldn't help and spread my love for this song. Many of you have probably heard it as I think I am a bit behind but if not have a listen. Plus the models in the video are insanely good looking - especially the guy in the lift....*sigh* to die for!

AlunaGeorge

Recently I have been absolutely loving the 90s R&B sounds of AlunaGeorge. They are a two piece band from London who deliver the perfect combinations of R&B rhythms combined with catchy pop riffs. I think they will be ones to watch come 2013 and have already been tipped to be nominees in the BBC Sound of 2013 competition.

Aluna's voice is what really draws me in but you'll either love it or hate it. Most of their tunes are chilled-back tracks but also have enough syncopated beats (almost dub step style) that will get you dancing. I would love to see them live so shall definitely be keeping my eye out. Have a listen!

There was a storm, the sun shone and there was one messy festival! Croatia... it was a pleasure

Hello everyone,

I feel like I have really neglected the blog over the past couple of months and I do apologise but life has been going at a rate of a million miles an hour and it has been a whirlwind. 

Saying that, I have just returned from what I can safely say was some of the best weeks of my life to date. This summer I feel like I have done a mini European tour. (OK, so I've been to Germany and Croatia but still another two countries off my hit list!)

Over the last two weeks I have lost myself in the Adriatic and forgot about the hustle and bustle of my working life, hit the gin and grabbed the Piz Buin. It was utter bliss and I am not writing this to make all those that haven't had chance to get away this summer go green with envy, I simple want to share my fab holiday with you. 

Whilst in Hvar (the must-be party island of Croatia, so I'm told) I celebrated my 20th Birthday amongst good friends. Hvar was incredible and for those seeking some sunshine by day and a secret party island by night there is no better place to be. 

After a few days in Hvar we headed back to the mainland and from Split we took a bus to the North for Dimensions Festival. The festival was incredible, the setting was so woodland creatures meet fairy lights meet abandoned forts. Although, I thought the music was not my sort of scene, the setting and the sunshine plus the music created such a chilled vibe. Ideal! 

To me, you can't beat a good time in the sunshine with great friends and that is exactly what I did. Here are a few snaps to summarise my jollies... Enjoy xo

Lianne La Havas

I mentioned in our very first blog post that I am currently in love with the jazzy tones of Lianne La Havas.
I first discovered her on the BBC Sound of 2012 list and have been hooked ever since and so Demi and I went and saw her at Northumbria Union and she was INNNSSSANNEE.
Give her a listen as you will DEFINITELY enjoy!
Here's some of my favourite songs of hers and her album is coming out soon....EEEEK
