As much as I am a music fanatic, festivals are not my thing - what can I say I like my own bed.  However, I think Leeds fest will always have a special place in my heart. I first went when I was 16, it was the furthest I’d been since coronavirus held us all hostage and it was a big deal for everyone there. For give or take a year we’d stayed in our homes following various changing rules and continuously being let down by any promises of normality. This festival was the first time I felt a sense of excitement in a long time, and I don’t think I was alone in that feeling. We went on the Sunday to see Post Malone, Beabadoobee, The Wombats and Two-Door-Cinema club. I obviously sang my heart out to all of them, having religiously listening to the set lists for months, and I left with no voice, no leg power, and the inside of my nose black. We went in a random dance stage mosh pit in which my friend lost a shoe and nearly a leg, and got home past 3 in the morning exhausted, so I like t...

  I've been an Oasis fan since I was small, not quite sure when it turned into more of an addiction. The Oasis ‘shrine’ that sits on my tall boy is filled with related books, Esty posters, and a framed screenshot of when Liam replied to my tweet one time - though I'm not quite sure what its praying for. So, when Liam Gallagher announced he was playing the Etihad on my 17 th birthday, it was basically my birth right to buy tickets. Yes, they left me with six pounds in my bank account, I had nobody planned to go with me and no idea how to get there, but that didn’t matter (plus, I was successful in my attempts at begging my m other to accompany me – it was my birthday! ).   Manchester's music scene must be one of, if not , the best in the U.K. Walking around a city with Oasis, The Smiths, Stone Rose 's etc. stickers , plastered on most brick walls – I felt at home. Everywhere you looked there was a middle-aged man in a bucket hat and a parka which I'm sur...

I’m a bit of a music nerd. I’ve been called it multiple times by a variety of people, but I’ve struggled to take it as anything other than a compliment. However, it does come with a hefty price. The amount of money I have spent on concert tickets is incalculable (or rather more I’d prefer not to think about the debt it has put me in). But, in my opinion, live music is one of the best things you can experience. Due to the pandemic, all live events (concerts, plays, festivals etc.) were halted and I, along with many others, have been waiting restlessly for them to start up again. It seems that 2022 is the year for music - n ot necessarily a fresh start, but a fresh attitude to not taking it for granted .    A heavily zoomed in picture of the main man on Tuesday . The first concert I ever went to was Bruno Mars when I was 12 years old. It was too hot, there were three heavily intoxicated women shrieking in front of me the whole time, and it took 3 hours to get out of the car p...

 Welcome to choons.com! This is a blog filled with writings sparked by brilliant music and live experiences, written by a teenage girl who simply loves music. With the modern internet, blogs and websites are not gathering the popularity that they used to. I am not writing to gather the masses however, but instead to express my passion for both writing and music in a way that I hope a few people enjoy.  If you're reading this (and not my mother or either grandparent), then please enjoy a look around! Happy reading :)
