Longer version of my “All Fucked Up” video - a song which, by the second verse had me absolutely sobbing (luckily I didn’t record this) .. such a beautifully powerful song about depression 🫶🏻 I also bloody love this dual capture feature! Everyone thinks I’m weird for going to scary screams gigs all the time but it’s literally my fun little hobby; dopamine hit, therapy session & safe place all at once. I’m never giving it up 😌

TAA. 🥹

A band that today, yesterday, tomorrow & always will, have my heart. 🖤 from the very first moment I heard “Drag The Lake” I fell completely and utterly in love with this band and their water references. Seeing them change and grow over the past few years has been a beautiful journey to be a part of. Being at the barrier for one of my favourite bands will be a core memory from now on.. & I caught (and fought for) 😅 my very first gig drumstick which just happened to be theirs 🥺 I will however forever be kicking myself that 1. I didn’t leave the barrier to do a circle pit and 2. I didn’t have the courage to say hello to Joel and ask him for a photo when I saw him outside the venue 😭 I have absolutely everything crossed that they do a signing at Slam Dunk 🤞🏻 I need to tell him that we’re birthday twins 💃🏼 and thank him for being the healing voice through so many crappy spouts of depression.. it was so special to see them in such a tiny venue. I can’t wait for my VIP merch bundle to arrive in the post 🙏🏻 love, love LOVE these Aussie boys sm!! Absolutely cannot wait to see them again at Slammy D 🖤🖤 taken in O2 Forum Kentish Town by @nats1696

Orthodox; Varials & Silent Planet supporting The Amity Affliction on Sunday 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻 first time seeing all 3; such good bands with incredible stage presence!! Was actually quite gutted I was at the barrier for these guys bc the pits looked extremely fun.. (dangerous for my little self, but fun) 😅 would’ve moved back if it weren’t for wanting to stay there for Amity 😬 would definitely like to see all of them again some time! The lead singer of Silent Planet seemed like a proper cool guy; he held my hand and said thank you 🥹 + finally getting to hear Antimatter live was 10/10 🌶️🔥 - even if I’ve completely butchered it by singing over my videos of it 💀🤣 taken in O2 Forum Kentish Town by @nats1696

I Prevail 🔥 26/09/26 Birmingham N1 🖤

First time seeing these guys since I saw them for the first time when they headlined by first ever Slam Dunk 2 years ago!! Very nostalgic for me & they’ve always been one of my favourites 🥰 the whole crowd was pretty much a pit for moments of these guys (hence why my videos are all over the place) but it was so much bloody fun 🤩

Gig season is well and truly underway boys 💃🏼

Next up is TAA next weekend 😝 I love my hobby.. who needs bloody therapy when you have this?! taken in O2 Academy Birmingham by @nats1696

Polaris 🤘🏻26/09/26 Birmingham N1 🖤

Absolutely love these guys - they’ve grown on me just a little bit more every time I’ve seen them live! Was barrier for them @ Impericon Festival last year and been hooked ever since.. don’t think I’ll ever get tired of hearing Nightmare live 🥹 such amazing stage presence & pure talent from every single one of these boys 🤌🏻 @jamiehails is a BEAST of a vocalist 😍 they even got my little 5’2” self in a circle pit with big scary men ⭕️👊🏻 taken in O2 Academy Birmingham by @nats1696

“Well, they say you should never meet your heroes..” “Sorry, but who the fuck says that?” 🤪 - so blessed to have met my favourite person three times in one year ♥️ it’s been one hell of a shitty year but these moments have absolutely not been!! 🩸⚔️ & getting to tell Rox that she’s been one of my reasons why through it all meant everything. This album is a very heartbreaking/healing work of pure art 🤌🏻🩵

“SORRY I’M LATE” in posting this 🫠

My landscape photos & videos from RØRY‘s acoustic show & signing in Southampton last week 🩵 - so glad I made the 3 hour journey after work to hear the beautiful acoustic versions of these songs live. It was worth every stressful wrong turn I took & traffic queue I sat in! Going to post the whole of “Hometown” as a reel after this one; along with my portrait photos including me meeting Rox for the third time this year 🥰🫶🏻

The Ghost Inside reel #2 🤘🏻 - I think this is my favourite one!! It shows just how much fun the band were having in this sweaty little venue & is a lot clearer as all my landscape ones had to be zoomed out where I was so close 🤣

What I love about this band, well, ONE of the things is how they show so much of their personalities on stage! So many bands lack stage presence but it just pours out of these guys 😌 - getting to be this close and enjoy all these moments with them was so, so special! As much as I reeeally wanted to be in the pit, it was definitely worth being at the front (even if I lost my hearing and got bruised to shit by being pushed into the stage) 😂 mental to be at a tiny, no barrier show for these guys just months after being at their arena tour with Bad Omens! Only discovered them in 2024 but they very quickly became a band that meant so much to me. Hence the tattoo & travelling hundreds of miles 🥲 if you ever get a chance to go see these guys, please do!! They are the best bunch of guys who play some awesome shows - and they just get better every time I see them! (This was show number 5 for me, second time in a different country) 😎 .. and once again, huge apologies for singing over them 😬 I got quite excited and actually thought I could low scream the “ROPE” in Dark Horse 🫠 taken in Pumpehuset by @nats1696

My head is still reeling from this incredible gig & my lovely little solo holiday in Denmark 🇩🇰 I have SO many photos and videos to upload but for now - here is reel 1/2 of The Ghost Inside @ Pumpehuset on Wednesday 👻🎸

I always *try* to only record short clips then live in the moment (and I did here and there) BUT nothing prepared me for the once in a lifetime experience this night was. Tiny venue; no barrier, front row, up very close & personal with my favourite band 🥹 so I wanted to be able to watch these back and relive this forever 🥰 I haven’t included the one of me singing Dark Horse with Vigil as I wanted to focus on these amazingly talented guys 🫶🏻 (that core memory will come in a later post) - these are my landscape videos; I’ve created a separate one for my portrait ones (obviously) 😅 I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of following these guys around the world but I absolutely cannot wait for them to come and visit the UK again 😍 they’re the best band ever!! 🖤 taken in Pumpehuset by @nats1696
