TOP 5 MOMENTS OF SUNDAY'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. Following on from my Saturday highlights here are Sunday's. C2C never fails to amaze me with the discovery of new talented and allowing us to see so many of our favourite artists over one weekend.

I started my Sunday off with the brilliant Alexandra Kay who I have to say give an even more special performance with it being her final set of the festival and what a way to end it on the Radio 2 Stage that was quickly filling up half way through her set. There was something so unique about hearing this same set as I did the previous day but the indigo sound made it even more special. Alexandra was filled with a lot of energy giving her all into every single song, but for me her cover of Blink 182's Dammit was beautiful.

Up next was Megan McKenna who I will admit I was a little sceptical over but within moments I was very happy I made her set as it showed of her beautiful vocal tones, and Pouring Rain is one gorgeous song one that today is still going around in my head. High Heel Shoes was fantastic as was Confetti with it being one song that I caught myself relating - thank you for writing a brilliant song. The standout moment for me was hearing This that is a rather special one for me and the lyrics following hearing it live are even more special.

Tigirlily Gold were the people I was very excited about seeing and was determined to catch them on the Icon Stage as these sisters are so special and unique artists for the country music industry knowing how hard these sisters have worked to get to where they are today (this was obvious from an interview I had the opportunity to do). The amount of new music they performed as me very excited for what's to come for them in 2023, however, it was their performance of Shoot Tequila that had me singing along at the top of my lungs, whilst also being emotional hearing so many people singing along.

Paris Adams performed on The Big Entrance and I was determined to catch her as Paris is an artist that I have supported since 2017 with the new music from Paris - Stupid with You the song that opened her set was so beautiful and started the set off brilliantly. The way that Paris spoke about her mum during her set ahead of her performance of High you mum was right for me it was better than the original (sorry if you don't agree just my opinion!) I loved that Paris ended her set with her debut solo single, Gold mixed with a Dolly Parton classic - phenomenal.

Jade Helliwell was the artist, I ended my weekend with as I wasn't feeling 100% but Jade is also an artist who gives 100% and her Big Entrance performance was no different. Getting the opportunity to hear If I Were You and Smoke live was brilliant as these songs for me are rather special. Getting the opportunity to see Laura Oakes on backing vocals was fantastic - two of my favourite UK artists.

I can't end this without mentioning how brilliant Kameron Marlowe was - he is one artist to watch out for in 2023.

Thank you C2C for a brilliant weekend - the countdown has already began to next years.

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
