The official aftermovie from last year’s Sunburn Festival, off the beautiful shores of Goa, was just released and it is absolutely chill-inducing. I would attempt to put the description in my own words, but the press I received says more than I ever could: “Captured at the exotic paradise…

It’s Throwback Thursday again and since it was her birthday yesterday, we’re dedicating it to Aaliyah- she would have been 34. Aaliyah was in a really good place in her career when she died at just 22, it’s a shame that it was only the beginning. Anyway, I’ve picked one of my top songs from [...]

Consistency Is Key
So with us all just brushing the dust of 2012 off our shoulders, I think I’m not alone in saying that our timelines, inboxes and conversations have been filled to the brim with esoteric motivational quotes that seem to go hand in hand with unrealistic new year’s resolutions which together end up making a baby [...]
Throwback Thursday
Its that time of the week again and I’ve finally managed to claw my way back into the box seat and write this before any of the others could get their hands on it. Earlier on in the week I watched Gary Barlow & Friends on ITV, I found myself gaining a deeper appreciation for [...]

Throwback Thursday
I could have gone all festive this week and I was tempted to but I’ve resisted! I’ve chosen a song from 2001 by Alicia Keys for this week’s throwback track. With the buzz around her new album I started to listen to her old songs again, one of my favourites from her is ‘Rock wit [...]
