Sarah started the wonderful evening off with So Damn Done in the most fabulous way with her super rocky, meaningful lyrics which Sarah continued with the next 2 songs - Try Anything and Your Truth along with the catchiness of the lyrics and Sarah's incredible song-writing definitely showed through on Saturday. It amazed me how last night was Sarah's first gig with her full band.
The third song was called Naïve which was written in Nashville and one that showcased her vulnerability as the audience listened. I was absolutely blown away by Sarah's vocals and I caught myself a times with tears in my eyes. My WOW moment of the whole evening.
You Did It is a song about memories you created with that certain person but they are your memories also. You Did It showcased Sarah's vulnerability once again but it was one song I was totally able to relate too having been through the same recently and feeling lost however, after hearing this song - I feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. You Did It once again showcased Sarah's amazing song-writing ability.
Electric Blue was the next song which is also set to be her debut single. Sarah's vocals throughout this song were nothing but wonderful and perform in a way which I can only describe as wonderful!
His Girl was one song that showcased Sarah's vulnerability once again but one that also saw her connect with her lyrics in the most wonderful. You could definitely hear how much the lyrics meant to Sarah and the audience were captivated the whole time. His Girl once again also captured the hearts of the audience as everyone was silent and listening to the lyrics of this song (or at least everyone around me was) were I have to admit blew me away in the most beautiful way. You could see/ hear everyone about the performance was showing everyone the artist, Sarah is - this is something I believe in!
I Don't Think So was one of those songs that definitely grew on me the more, I got into the song. The lyrics were so relatable at times and the chorus was the part of the song, I loved the most!
On Your Grave was the song Sarah chose to end her set with which for me was an incredible choice because it allowed Sarah to show off her sassy side and rocky attitude which was wonderful to witness. On Your Grave is a Dixie Chicks style of song but one that shows who Sarah is an artist in the most unique way.

Sarah Watson is one extremely talented young lady with a bright future ahead!

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 '

-
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
