    Not so FUN interviewing first thing day 3 of T in the Park Uncategorized | Comments Off
    Ok ok, I shouldn't be ungrateful. I am actually really looking forward to meeting this trio from NYC whose song 'We Are Young' follows me everywhere - in the car, in the shops, in the local watering hole, on t'telly. However, my interview is scheduled for 11am, which means a ten am start. I didn't even think bands could talk before noon. This wouldn't be so bad if was on the first day. But on the third, and after celebrating my pals big 30 the night before... Well, it'll be a pass out and hope my makeup stays on jobby. ...

    Get your B<E<A<K ON! Willowman Festival Highlight Uncategorized | Comments Off
    Day 2 of Willowman festival, I'm feeling sluggish, spaced out and (here comes the start of many conundrums) spitting feathers. No abundance of energy drinks, fizzy sweeties and copious amounts of coffee could trick my body into thinking it hadn’t been raving it up the morning after the night before. A hair of the dog hadn’t worked either. Enter B<E<A<K. As they blasted onto the stage a blaze of colours, instruments, and slightly scary (in the Ronald McDonald when you were a kid kind of way) bird masks, my eyes were given one hell of a workout as they darted ...

    Willowman Highlight – Vintage Trouble Uncategorized | Comments Off
    Hailing from the US of A you'd think these guys have been playing together for years and years and years. Umbelievably tight (insert all types of inuendos), I now know what would happen if you could breed the genes of James Brown, a young Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder... the result would be frontman Ty Taylor. Love love love LA's funk, soul, blues group, join their mailing list for a free EP. Here they are performing on Jools Holland: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsw4ipHcMvY

    3,2,1 She’s back in the room – thanks to Willowman Festival Uncategorized | (1)
    There simply are no words to express how rubbish I have been to neglect my poor blog on Hotpress.com for this long. 11 months and about 30 cities later, my faith in festivals has been restored. Has anyone heard of Willowman Festival? I hadn't, neither had your man Neville Staple from the Specials, but only a few days ago, there we both where in the hills of Yorkshire lapping it up like a dog against a pea stained lamp post. The diversity and quality of acts that took place on the same weekend which was no doubt overshadowed by the Isle of White ...

    Morning Parade who supported Biffy Clyro for Ibiza and Mallorca Rocks back in July are a generous bunch!

    I go under the covers with 2 Many DJ’s…literally! Uncategorized | (11)
    I have to say I am still positively reeling from all the fun from having my two amazing pals Dave and Stef Dewaele, aka 2 Many DJ's come in to DJ and co host Ibiza Rocks the Radio with me last Wednesday. I know they don't have the time to do this kind of thing much, and did it as a personal favour, and I love them very dearly for it.  The boy's were supposed to just do the first hour but as we were having such a laugh they stayed for the whole thing! We got pretty darn cheeky, ...

    Oh no! they’ve gone and ruined another perfectly classic film with a remake… Uncategorized | (8)
    God DAMN it! The original Footloose film was one of my main inspirations to become the kind of dancer that performed with and toured for Harmar Superstar, Fischerspooner, Electric 6... and led me to my head dancer and choreographer title for Ibiza Rocks and Manumission (yes I do still miss the days)... Seriously, my VHS's of Footloose, Flashdance, and Dirty Dancing would be constantly on the rewind to learn all the moves in-between dance classes - they didn't teach the kind of maneuvers I was practising in the school I went to! And of course I'd fantasize about Kevin Bacon ...
