Concerts




Hello there,


I have become quite the concert goer the past few years.  I will always remember my first concert The Wanted at Nottingham's Royal Concert Hall and how scared I was of going.  I was frightened we'd be sat up high and that the music would be too loud as I am not good with loud noises.  We were sat up quite high but our view was amazing! I just wish I had a better camera when we went because my pictures weren't that great.

This was the best one I got.


I also realised at that concert that Ugg boots were not the best shoes to wear. My feet got soo hot from all my boogying! I have never made that mistake again.

Since then I have been to so many concerts that at a guess without checking my tickets and everything must be verging on 30 concerts since 2011, twelve of them being last year alone.  I am often asked why I enjoy concerts so much and why I go to so many and 'waste' all my money. I always give the same answer. 'Because its something I enjoy.' But having actually sat and thought about it I now realise that I enjoy concerts so much because I can be me.  In that arena or room or even outdoor space that I am watching someone or multiple people perform I can be myself.  The people there are like minded, they have the same music taste, they enjoy the same bands as me. I'm with people who wont judge me because I like Lawson, who wont poke fun at me because I like One Direction.  I also find that when I'm there in the moment, for the two hours or so that I am at a concert watching my favourite artists, I can forget about everything else.  anything that's worrying me or that's going on can be forgotten and I can live in the moment and just enjoy it.  I think this is why I take so many pictures whilst I'm there, videos too (although most of my videos have my terrible singing on them) so that I can relieve the moments where I felt the most happy and in place.

I have found too that I can make friends and talk to people easier at concerts, whether that be us laughing at each other for crying the whole way through (The Wanted's last tour) or just chatting about anything and starting a conversation. Its brilliant and I hope that this never changes.  I have 3 more booked for the rest of this year at the minute and I am excited for each and everyone of them. Blog posts will definitely follow those. But for now I shall leave you with my favourite photos I have taken from concerts.

Catch you next time
