Black Veil Brides gig - the verdict
Haven’t done a lot recently, but one thing I did do was finish off a godawful week with something great! I managed to actually get out of the office at lunchtime on Friday (after a MEGA work week) to bask in the sun with Amiee. After a little wander around trying to decide what to do (when it’s sunny it is LOVELY just to walk and chat and not have a care), we had a massive binge in...

A few things I've done recently, including knights...
Really quick and dirty run down of stuff I’ve done lately! I’ve been to the theatre four times in the last few weeks, so it’s worth me mentioning.
Saw Sleeping with Straight Men at the Stag a few weeks ago. As I’ve mentioned about Above the Stag before, the quality can be extremely variable in a frustrating way. Sometimes it’s a little gem of a play, with quality...

WatchThis ‘video’ is actually an embeded image gallery!
So recently I was told that by not posting these and sharing, I was holding back on people! I never really thought about it like that! I’ve just never had anywhere to post pics en masse. So I’m having a go here at doing a fandom pic dump - let’s see if I can make it neat!
So I have a bunch of good pics of the...

AKA my weekend as an extra on ‘I Think, Therefore’. Sorry for the lateness in posting. Came back to normal, everyday life with a bump! If you had told me on Friday that I would be spending the weekend being an extra a supporting artist in a film directed by Georgia King, starring Tom Hopper and Harry Melling, and time chatting to all of those people as well as Bradley James and...

Why @ladygaga is the most successful artist of our...
I’m not gonna make this a long ass post about fan engagement because IMO it’s not rocket science and it’s not in the least bit surprising. But I do want to say something: most people (clueless music industry knobs included) will think that Lady Gaga’s success can be attributed to the high cost above the line marketing that she gets from her label where others don’t....

Gratuitous picture of me and Benedict Cumberbatch
Other blogging people will understand this, but I do my best blogging in my head on the train, in the shower, sat in a boring meeting, etc etc. They never make it to this page. And this so called blog is a super waste of space anyway because I rarely make an update and it’s really just a diary of stuff I do. (Might as well go back to Live Journal!)
In the last week I’ve wanted to make...

World premiere of Rufus Stone
Today I felt very privileged to be at the world premiere of Rufus Stone at Bournemouth University. As a former member of staff at BU, it was really wonderful to go back and see some of the amazing work that is still going on there.
Rufus Stone is the culmination of a 3 year research project entitled The Gay and Pleasant Land. The project is a study about positioning, ageing and gay life in...

The Live Music Experience
There is nothing I like better than live music. It makes me happy. I often lose myself in music and through that I can forget all the crap, tune it out and be happy, even if it’s just for an hour and a half.
So for me, the live music experience is like the pinnacle of joy.
Why is it, then, that I have gig anxiety every single time?
Mostly, it’s because I’m short. There have...

…tonight was awesome. :)
The movie wasn’t, sadly. Keira Knightley really can’t act. I kind of knew that, but I was never offended before. I have only seen her early movies, aside from Pride and Prejudice, and I always kind of assumed my hostility re: that movie was more to do with the adaptation, rather than her. I’m a bit precious about the classics.
Unfortunately, a...

Groupon complaint: Louise Walsh International...
So my mum is generally pretty convinced by good deals. Groupon is ideal for her. Things she’d never think of buying appear in her inbox and she asks herself: hmm…maybe I do want to do a photography course, a TEFL course, have a fish pedicure, etc. These new experiences AND a bargain. What joy!
Me, I’m more practical. I started side eyeing Groupon when people kept sending me...

Many people in and out of the music industry are sceptical about Lady Gaga. Perhaps they don’t understand the profound effect her words can have on her young fans. Little Monsters aren’t just Little Monsters for her music - Lady Gaga empowers, elevates and celebrates her fans and gives them so much more than music. In communities where that is needed, she is often the only one giving...

A quick update on me! Theatre, etc
So I’ve done a fair bit in the past few weeks worth a mention for any theatre fans.
1) A few weeks ago I went to see the Woman in Black. This is a long running play that has been at the Fortune theatre for years. Without going too much into the comedy of errors that lead me to that theatre (including racing to get there in time through a MONSOON), I will say that I found the theatre really...

All Andrej All Night
Just came across these pics of Andrej. Partying in a gay club in Soho, London. Probably this weekend. How dare he party two doors down from my office and I not know!!! Would have got my gay boyfriend and headed down there in a totally non-stalker way, natch. ;)
Pretty boy is really pretty in these pics!

Andrej Pejic in The Times Magazine
Would be nice if we could get a little notice! I don’t ever buy this rag! ;) My mum used to though, so lets hope her or her friends can get their hands on a copy for me. The interview/article is online, but you have to pay boo. I paid the quid it cost toread it and here it is for all the rest of you. (My small protest at News International there? LOL.)
Laid out exactly as it is on the Times...

Why I love London & WTF Maggie Smith is the mother...
So the title might seem a little disjointed, but hear me out. This week I had the most pleasure of attending a reading of Simon Gray’s 1978 play The Rear Column. In the smallest of spaces, some of the UK’s finest actors sat on little wooden chairs in their linen slacks and shirts and read through what is quite a remarkable play. Here’s the list of brilliant actors:

Stuff I'm doing!
So I mentioned a while ago that I have a very busy period coming up and, yes, it has started! I have a thankfully quiet Monday evening hot on the heels of a busy weekend, with lots coming up to look forward to.
On Friday I went to London Zoo Lates, which would have been totally awesome if it wasn’t torrential rain. By the time I got to the zoo without an umbrella, I was drenched. And...

Art reviews!
So we’re just on the verge of me launching into a very VERY busy period. If anyone hasn’t guessed yet, I am a massive consumer of art, theatre, music and film. And TV. And literature. I guess just entertainment in general. I know a lot about it, I can obsess over it, and it’s what makes me happy. In fact, my mind literally boggles when I meet people who don’t have the same...

Why you want a Songkick account music fans!
So a really long time ago (back at the beginning of 2009) Katie Spain (some of you will know her name from her music interviews, particularly Tokio Hotel) introduced me to this site called Songkick she was involved in. At the time, and the way she presented it, it sounded pretty exhausting. The idea presented to me was to create an archive (gigography) of every music gig ever. Doesn’t that...
