Bangorlicious!
Wow - it's been a while! I've had a fairly busy time since having finishing my exams (yay - first year over!) The weekend before my final exam, Radio 1's Big Weekend came to Bangor, North Wales. As you can imagine, this was a fairly major event, as thins sort of thing doesn't often happen in Bangor. The sun shone (I managed to get some rather excellently sunburnt shoulders), music was played, jumping around was done, and my boyfriend and I managed to make the grand total of £46 by picking up paper cups (I strongly suggest this to anyone going to festivals this summer!)
There were many people - a variety of the hard-core 'indie' people, those that looked as if they'd been tangoed, and many, many people that fashion had apparently passed. Faithless were easily my favourite band that I saw there, MGMT were spewing out the summer vibe; but I always love it when you go to a festival and find a band that you had never heard of, and turned out to be rather great. So was the case with Bombay Bicycle Club. I guttingly missed the acoustic session, but managed to catch the main performance. The main singer had a fantastically energetic (though it did look at points that he was having some sort of fit!) way of dancing, which added to the enthusiasm of the audience. I hope that you enjoy them as much as I did.
The best way to start the summer?
A free festival where the sun shines, you manage to make money by doing good for the environment, whilst seeing and hearing fantastic bands!

These two photos above are of the stall of Dolls & Molls. I brought (with my money earned from collecting paper cups!) a gorgeous pair of earings in the shape of feathers, gold in colour, and went gorgeously with my turquoise top that I was wearing. Their stuff was well priced (the earings were only £4) and had a rather nice home-made quality, as opposed to the shop brought stuff, so you know that you won't find someone with the stuff jewellery as you (unless of course their taste is as good as yours!)
