A few weeks ago my car heater packed up. It’s surprising how something so simple can be so disruptive! Aside from driving to work and back every day in a car that is colder inside than your fridge at home, when it rained, the car steamed up and made it impossible to see out of all of the windows!
Gemma bought me a pair of tickets to see One Republic at the London Scala for Christmas. Neither of us had been there before but having read their website soon realised it was quite a small venue that doubles as a nightclub at the weekend. It only took about an hour to get there from Rayleigh and once we were inside the atmosphere was electric.
Not only was it an intimate gig with just over a thousand people watching, One Republic were simply brilliant! Standing only a few meters from the stage meant you really felt a connection with the band. They played songs from their old album ’Dreaming Out Loud’ and a host of songs from their new album ‘Waking Up’ which was released that same day. ‘Good Life’ is one of my favourite tracks.
Another quick message to wish everyone a very happy new year! I hope to bring you many more stories, events and interesting articles in 2010! Watch this space!
