Music Men

All my friends seem to be getting their entrepreneurial hats on at the moment and setting up events, or putting on gigs - and making lots of money from them! My friend Luke put on this night the other night at the Head of Steam in town. I thought the flyer was amazing!


Also, my friend’s band Capua Collective are gigging tonight in Leeds and I WISH I WAS THERE. Oli’s gone down to see them and I am so jealous that I’m stuck here in my room with no money and the knowledge that good music is being made without my ears being able to hear it.



My friend just sent me a picture of them playing, they look so settled up on stage already, it's amazing. Check them out on sound cloud, they're amazing: https://soundcloud.com/capua-collective
Then this is my friend Tim’s band. He dropped out of uni because Racing Glaciers were signed so he’s gone off to become a rockstar. Pretty damn good stuff, have a listen. You can find out more about them and buy their first album here.



It was also two of my best friend’s birthday today. I love them both so so much and am so happy they’re up here in the toon with me. 
The first is Chandler who I met at Secret Garden Party last summer and we spent the majority of all the festivals for the rest of the summer together too. He’s also now up at Newcastle so I see him all the time which is great, love this boy. Always up for a laugh and had the best music taste so quite a handy friend to have! He also has his own show on NSR Live every Wednesday form 8-9pm and it’s so funny to sit and listen to his voice haha. Always a good idea to ‘lock-in’ though as he always plays some corkers.


And then this is James who I know from my course - another musical man in my life! He seems very quiet and measured when you first meet him, but get him drunk and play him some good music and he’s a whole different ball-game! I met him in the pub for a quite drink earlier by the studios with all his friends who all live down my road. Such a nice afternoon!
