Music Happens Here

Today is one of those days when I wish my journey to work was longer.

Last night I purchased ‘Music Happens Here’, produced by Leeds College of Music, and I listened to it for the first time this morning on an otherwise gloomy drive.

Prior to this morning I would dread my younger hipper friends and family asking ‘So what are you listening to at the moment Lou?’. ‘What are you reading?’ is a good conversation opener with me but unless you want a reply such as ‘The Wheels on the Bus’ or ‘Robbie Williams’ please don’t ask me about music!

HOWEVER I am now happy to sit and chat about new talent in music, and proud to say I’m supporting local musicians.

Music Happens Here is a new album released by Leeds College of Music which offers listeners a snapshot of the fresh, diverse and current sound coming from students at the College.

Drawing on their performance, composition and production talents, and in collaboration with industry experts, this compilation album offers a stepping stone to get their music to a wider audience and move their careers on to the next level.

There’s a whole range of music on the album, with some tones of Jamie Cullen, Air and Pulp coming though on some of the tracks. My personal favourites are ‘You’re not so special now’ by Seb Forest and ‘Divinity’ by Matt Belmont. Yoruba and ‘Trabalenguas’ launched me into work at 8.30am this morning in a tigger like fashion!

I am no music critic so wont say any more except…

BUY IT HERE...

Dancing Queen

As the grouse shooting commenced on the ‘Glorious 12th’ of this month our very own Caroline turned 40 which is always a great reminder that it is also my mum’s birthday and she turned 59 this time. (Sorry mum, but Happy Birthday!)

In the spirit of my last blog ‘De-clutter’ I decided that rather than yet another ornament or vase to clutter her already full cabinets and shelves, I would buy us both tickets to see Dancing Queen at The Grand Theatre and Opera House in Leeds.

What a fantastic night out! The theatre itself is another great example of beautiful Leeds architecture and the auditorium is just amazing.

The show was so much fun. Lots of ABBA hits and other songs from the 70’s with high energy dance routines. It was just a huge party on stage.

The highlight for me was the YMCA. It was so funny. I can highly recommend this show and it is guaranteed to lift everyone’s spirits and could be a great start to fabulous night out.
