It’s been a very long time since I went to a music gig. I can’t actually remember my last one, it could have been McFly or Busted (I’ve just scanned through my photos and it was Busted!).
Tonight, I am off to see McFly - don’t laugh - with my sister and niece, I am so excited to see them again. I just tried to work out how many times I’ve seen them and I couldn’t so it’s a lot!
Music is back, theatre is back and comedy gigs are back! I have a few things planned that have been re-scheduled since 2019 and it’ll be so good to get back to it.
I’ve written in the past about how much music means to me and how the music I listen to can help me in any situation. I no longer listen to music when writing as I get too distracted, and want to dance.
Whilst it can be daunting, getting back to this bit of normality, I am thrilled that gigs can go ahead as safely as possible and events can take place. Music and gigging is important to so many people (not just musicians/singers/artists etc) but everyone who works on their show, to the lighting and sound, to the roadies, drivers, managements, venues, the list goes on.
Seeing McFly will be another moment in my life where I am grateful for music, and how it makes me feel. I’m sure tomorrow I’ll have a very sore throat and sore feet from dancing for nearly two hours but I won’t care. Seeing thousands of people have fun, singing along to our favourite band and seeing my niece have a great time will be worth it.
What else is new?
Tom from McFly is also doing Strictly Come Dancing, ten years after bandmate Harry Judd won it! He’s my one to watch, I want him to to win so I’m looking forward to seeing if Amy can get him on form.
I have decided to launch a podcast! It’ll be about book reviews and I’ll have a guest host every week. I’m looking for guest hosts, they can be other book reviewers, authors, or anyone who just loves to read. Get in touch to find out more.
I have a few book reviews out - head over to bookswithgina.co.uk to see what’s going on and what’s coming up next.
