Prom, music and books!

So, in myprevious post I forgot to indulge about the events of last Friday (4th May). This event was my school prom! It was hosted at the Lion Quays out of town and went on for about four hours. I was escorted there and back with my friend Declan in his Dad's Nissan GTR sports car - basically a very quick and flashy car (bottom left) . Here are four photos, as you can see I rocked a grey suit with a red bowtie (hard to make out from these pictures). I had a really great time reminiscing with people, dining and dancing the night away! My favourite photo out of these four is the top left, I am on the right with my science teacher in the middle and Jack on the left. If given the opportunity, I would definitely do it again; time whooshed by!

More recently, last night (Saturday 12th May) I accompanied my Nan and Uncle-in-law to the St. Martin's music festival 2012 at the Cross Keys pub. We arrived at about half seven and saw three good acts, the first band being The Kaya's who played original material and were quite rocky but were rather overlooked, the second band who I think were called Dischord played a set full of covers, but it was perfect for the occasion; they opened with Thin Lizzy's Jailbreak and I thought the singer was destined for a night of murdering songs as he wasn't too convincing with that effort. Following was Lenny Kravitz' Are You Gonna Go My Way and immediately my thoughts were reversed - it is a song I quite like and the vocals were superb! From then on, the night got better and we were gifted songs by Bad Company, Queen, Bob Dylan, U2 and others. My favourite by far was their cover of Led Zeppelin's Rock and Roll - they totally nailed it on all parts, the crowd by this point were up for it and everyone was having a great time. They ended their well recieved set with the Foo Fighter's All My Life. Splendid! The last act were called The Decades and have performed at William & Kate's wedding so the standards were high, their set was more pop lovey style songs so out of choice I prefered Dischord, but to be far to The Decades they performed very well and their female vocalist was excellent, not so sure about the man though.

To finish this post, I am proudly displaying the weekend's personal success, 5 books for 50p each!! These books were obtained from various sources: Sherlock Holmes at an Oswestry Market stall, Hammer of the Gods, Aerosmith What It Takes and How Black Was Our Sabbath at The Works and History of Latin America from a car boot sale! Very pleased and they will keep me going! Thanks for reading!
