TOP 5 MOMENTS OF SATURDAY'S C2C STAGES

-
Welcome back to my C2C 2023 series of blogs, this weekends festival is a brilliant celebration to the festivals 10 year anniversary, here are my Highlights of Saturday at C2C.

I started my weekend off in BBC Radio 2's Stage with Ward Thomas made up of twin sisters, Catherine and Lizzy who I have seen many times before but every single time, I see them it's just the first time and at 10.30am on a Saturday morning it was exactly that especially as they started with In The Madness showing their beautiful harmonies as did the rest of the set. Catherine and Lizzy are just fantastic allowing each other moments to shine within their music.

First Time Flyers in The Barrelhouse it was absolute pleasure seeing them on their first performance at C2C to kick off Happier was played which brilliantly showcased their 4 way harmonies and throughout their set all of them had a moment to shine with their individual vocal tone. My highlight of their set was a song called Just Do which was full of a lot of emotions allowing for moments of reflection to take place. The lyrics in Just Do made me realise that in life going forward if I want to do something, I am going to do it and worry about what everything else after - life is about taking chances.

Staying in the Barrelhouse, I saw Alexandra Kay who for me was an artist, I wanted to see so badly having been a fan of her for a while hearing Backroad Therapy - I got extremely emotional as their lyrics been so much to him this is the one song that when things get too much I put on and it helps me to stay on track after realising that escaping for a moment is ok as well. The 90's mash up of songs was perfectly added to her set. I can't end this without mentioning the song that changed everything for her called How Did We Go saw Alexandra become emotional as she heard people in the audience sing it back to her.

Jess and The Bandits was a band I have wanted to see ever since I started to support Jess on this blog in 2017, and it finally happened and I wasn't disappointed. The high energy that opened their set I knew I was going to have the best time during the 30 minutes. Jess and The Bandits showcased a few new songs along with the classic single adding in her latest single, Hey Girl which is an incredible female empowerment anthem - every female's journey is people need to accept that without anyone else's judgements.

Hannah Ellis was the biggest surprise of the day as an artist, I hadn't heard any music of (or not that I know of!) but Wine Country featured many brilliant lyrics that showcased her gorgeous tone. The covers of Better Dig Two and Still The One she really made them her own. Somebody Else's Heartbreak was an story filled with beautiful storytelling mixed with honest and relatable lyrics that I caught myself listening too very carefully. The song that ended her set called Country Can was brilliant and such an anthem - I can't wait to have this song on repeat.

I can end this blog post, and not mention Emma Lucy Walker who for the first time was performing at the festival and give one hell of a set especially Think About Me (sorry if I am wrong never caught the title). The melody along with Emma's soft emotional tone made the song even more special - I  really hope Emma releases this song and song.

Thank you C2C for a brilliant day.

SINGLE REVIEW - ELERI - KARAOKE

-
This Friday (11th August)  will see  Swansea based artist singer-songwriter, Eleri  release her latest single, Karaoke. Karaoke was co written with Vanessa Murray and Katie Buckland, and produced by Tim Prottey/Jones of First Time Flyers. Karaoke  has an upbeat instrumental setting the tone beautifully. The first verses sees Eleri's soft vocal at the forefront with lyrics that get you thinking of those moments at a gig that you don't think you'll ever get to see takes me back to experiencing Priscilla Block with Eleri last year, oh the memories. The second verse sees the song take another turn of when you feel like things aren't working out but you are determined to learn from the lesson it's given you. The chorus features many catchy upbeat lyrics that I could myself singing along with despite not knowing the lyrics 100% typical Kellie. There is so much passion within the lyrics and the more you hear the lyrics the more appreciation I gain. Love the summer of '

COMING UP ON EMMERDALE: AMELIA CHRISTENS ESTHER AS CHARITY AND AMY BRING THE DRAMA

-
With Amelia Spencer about to christen her daughter, Esther it wouldn't be a soap without drama during the ceremony would it? It’s the day of Amelia Spencer’s daughter, Esther’s christening who is touched by her boyfriend, Noah Dingle’s support who has been there for her during her pregnancy and now adjusting to her journey into motherhood. It’s lovely to see how much he genuinely cares and wants the best for them both. Following Lydia Dingles help in organising the christening, she is disappointed when Samson Dingle refuses to accompany her to his daughter’s christening. Chloe Harris and Amy Wyatt are confrontational around cousins Chas and Charity. However, when Amy and Chloe arrive at Esther’s christening following Chas’ invite, Charity is less than impressed. Things escalated as Charles Anderson’s begins the christening as Charity’s feud with Amy threatens to put the service in jeopardy - part of me is like yay for the drama, but the other is like why are you doing this ,Charit

EMMERDALE REVIEW - DAN SHOWED HIS VULNERABILITY

-

Over the past few weeks, Emmerdale viewers have seen a different side of Dan Spencer following his daughter, Amelia's social media ordeal which has allowed for a different side of the character's development to be shown. It's obvious to me and many other viewers that all Dan Spencer has ever wanted to do was protect Amelia, but the way he said some harsh things to her in Tuesday's episode (11th July) saw the vulnerability in both characters. It was during Wednesday's episode (12th July) where Dan said "you have every right to be online" was a moment I caught myself a little emotional over as it reminded me of my own experience once again - it's clear how much Dan cares about his daughter and just wants what's best for her like parents do. The way that parents want their children to hear the truth, sometimes isn't the best way to do but on the other side sometimes it just needs to be said. There was many times during this week that I felt for Am
