#hmvnbt Nights 9 & 10- @The Borderline and Jazz...
This weekend has been a lovely mix. Friday night found myself and Poppy interviewing Young Guns and Tonight Alive- very lovely chaps. Passionate, talented and both lots with HUGE sets of lungs. Where does that noise come from!? Hugely talented and very meticulous thinkers, we talked tours, chart positions, Albums and The Hills (don’t ask- it did not go down well with Tonight Alive- who very...

#hmvnbt Night 8 @The Borderline
From a previously very soulful evening on Night 7- Night 8 was no less of a disappointment. Meeting and chatting with the lovely Josh Osho (a personal highlight!) and Emeli Sande, I was blown away by this night’s talent. Again- being immersed by music that I would never usually listen to- I was so taken aback by the sheer talent these guys had. Josh, I’m more than happy to start...

#hmvnbt Night 7 @TheBorderline
I am finally writing about my official Week landmark for hmv Next Big Thing. I’ve been so busy, I’m struggling to define reality and hazy fantasy at the moment. One thing I can remember is the AMAZING all girl line up we had at The Borderline on Wednesday (which now feels like a lifetime ago!) Arriving from a hectic day at work- I spotted a very timid and huge maned lady who was the...

#hmvnbt days 7 and 8
Where have I been!? Sorry I’ve been lost in a very fuzzy NBT haze for the last few days and I’m sad it’s all drawing to a close this weekend! Firstly I want to thank everyone who’s come and been MASSIVELY involved in the singing/ dancing/ moshing/ smoshing and general noise making at the gigs. Just seeing you guys having an amazing time has made it so worthwhile (Along with...

#hmvnbt Day 5 and 6
Where have I been recently!? No idea. It’s now Day 7 and I am officially powering through for the remaining few!
What have I not told you guys? SO much!
So, I was covering downstairs at The Garage on Monday night. I had The Virginmary’s, The Trews and Mad Dog (now Born Mad, I’ll explain..)
All three bands were too lovely (as they have all been so far! No Divas as of yet – bar King Charles’ diva...

#hmvnbt first weekend Nights 3 and 4
Hey guys, This will be my weekend diary then! With so much happening it’s so hard to keep up, but I am four (almost five days in) and loving it like I did Day1- bar the snow, because it caused far too much chaos! This weekend I’ve been at Camden Barfly on Saturday night and The Garage sponsored by Relentless over to The Borderline on Sunday. Who have I seen, well there has been the...

#hmvnbt Night 2 @Relentless Garage
Just a quick one today guys, so much to do and so little time! (and I’ll admit, I just lost 45 minutes worth of writing and reviewing!) So last night saw Proxies and hadouken! own the downstairs stage and the beautiful Ava Leigh and Bluey Robinson take the upstairs (obviously as with my arty and indie vibes from the previous evening clashing with full on 1980s Bill and ted style fleetings...

#hmvnbt Night 1- Spinefarm Records
So, last night I covered The Garage sponsored by Relentless which saw Spinefarm Records own the downstairs Stage and lots of much quieter, calmer and in all honesty smaller haired acts (Minus the lovely Beth J Houghton- hair envy) keep a collectively calmer (wait, did I mean Saner?) crowd moving. Arriving at the venue at 4pm, I met two lovely fans who had travelled all the way from Finland to see...
