Slam Dunk Festival!

So a week on and I’m asking myself why I’ve neglected to write anything on here about the awesome weekend that was Slam Dunk Festival weekend. My first festival ever and I got to start with pretty much my favourite UK festival ever, the 14 year old in me was buzzing (the one who got so super-excited about the first ever Slam Dunk with Fall Out Boy headlining.. wahhh) Probably the sweatiest couple of gigs I’ve ever played in my life due to freakishly uncharacteristically hot british weather and playing cosy acoustic stages but definitely worth it to share a stage with kids from Transit, Valencia, Deaf Havana.. don’t mean to sound name-dropping-y, I was just like a geeky little kid at christmas about it! Spent a bit of time hanging out in the AAA areas feeling like I shouldn’t be there and trying to spark up conversation with big tattooed american types. Not really sure what else to say, there was lots of fun and no sleep had, all with awesome company, I got the bestest friends :) Hope any of you who went bloody looooved it. Whey-oh \m/

I’m away into the wild
Humbled, eyes wide, I’m a child
Lost between these boneless wooden arms
Crying out for help? Crawling towards the sun?
Some bent like giant cradling mothers
I’m a baby in our lovely womb
Naked in our echoing decadent room
Eyes wide at the centre of an atom
That one almighty artist
With not a single gallery but a billion tributes
Not a pattern or a picture or a poem was not her idea

Unfolding the gratitude I had tucked in my pocket

In awe, with pride, in fear
So lucky, so lucky to live here. 

Whilst I was away in Sydney we found a great little abandoned warehouse… so I sang a song in it :) Check it out!
