Hey Guys and Dolls, Just a quick post on a band, I recently seen do a gig. The Phlegm, a Edinburgh based rockabily/psychobily band. I have had the pleasure of seeing these 3 laddies play around 8 times in the last 10 months. They are regulars at Henry's Cellar Bar in Edinburgh, they have done guest slots in supporting bands like jake and the jellyfish (also a band you guys need to check out) and another rockabily band called the Voodoo Kings. They have been a band for many years and consist of Joe McGuigan (vocals/guitar), Grant McGuigan (bass/double bass/backing vocals) and Iain Robertson(drums). During the set they played on the 29th January, they covered Gary Numan 'Cars'
They also done original songs written by both Joe and Grant. This is a newly written song, by Grant McGuigan, Jet Board.
These young guys have done extremely well in the past 10 months that I have been part of the crowd that they pull. I have went to the gigs with my girls and they have always had great things to say about the show afterwards. I love them as they are so unique in their style for such a young band. They have accomplished so much in such a short space of time and its great seeing them going from strength to strength. Their future is most definitely bright and I'm looking forward to seeing them grow more. Here is a few little recordings of my favourite songs they do. Ubangi Stomp.

Check them out on facebook, twitter and their own band page. Make sure you all like and follow them. Till next time M <3
Happy New Year Bloggers!! I for one can not believe how quick 2013 went. But bring on 2014.. I'm definitely ready for you. I'm going to take some inspiration, from a fellow blogger Jade, who also happens to be one of my close friends. She blogged about some things that she wishes to achieve in 2014. Spend More Time With My Beautiful Girls. For the biggest amount of time of last year, I spent working or spending a lot of time with my other half (not that it was a bad thing) But this year I definitely want to make a lot of amazing memories with my girls. Especially since one of the girls are going to be staying in Germany for the last few months of the year... Sob. Girls holiday somewhere? Take Better Care Of Myself I have become a shell of myself these past few months, not being very sociable or generally happy with myself. I've felt slightly lost and vulnerable, but all this will change. I already have changed my attitude towards things and I'm hopefully going to continue that. I also aim to lose a few stone, for myself though, not because of social media or someone else. I want to lighter and have more energy to spend more time with my nephew. Tourist I plan on getting a job hopefully before January ends, so I can save up and hopefully visit a few places that I've always wanted to go. I would love to go to Paris, Italy, Amsterdam and London.. Just to name a few. I haven't been on a proper holiday, in what seems a lifetime, but its really just been about 5 years this summer. Need to change that. Grow Up Hopefully by the end of 2014, I will hopefully have my own wee place to stay. I would love to not stay in the family home, as I do share it with my older brother and his little terror. I will obviously miss them but I feel its about time I learn to stand on my own 2 feet. Learn Something New I want to take up something and stick to it. I have already decided that I will start Ice Skating lessons. I have always wanted to learn, how to ice skate properly as I can barely go around an ice rink without holding on to the sides. Make Memories With My Nephew The little one is growing up too fast for me now and has already completed a term at school. Scary stuff, especially as I can still remember getting the call to say his mumma was in labour with him. Not sure to what I will do with him yet, but I'm sure I will be able to make memories with him. Go To More Gigs And Maybe A Festival Even though, in 2013 I got to see some of the most influential bands to me live, I still have the need to go to more gigs. In 2013, I got the privilege to see Fall Out Boy and 30 Seconds to Mars live.... YES LIVE. I was definitely living my teenage years again and utterly loved it. I have heard that Fall Out Boy are doing the UK rock festivals and DEFINITELY need to see them again. I would also love to see some other of my favourites play live, I also can not wait to hear some new tunes from my favourite UK bands, Yashin and You Me At Six.
I also want to blog a lot more and hopefully maybe start doing some videos (not certain on that yet though) You shall all hopefully be reading a lot more things from me soon though!!
