First of all, on Friday night, the Ironworks hosted an evening consisting of good sets from Stray Bullets, Cool Kids Write In Blue and Silent Blackout. This event cost a mere £3 and for 3 bands and a night of good entertainment, there really is no complaining. Stray Bullets opened things up marvellously with a fantastically electric rendition of Rage Against The Machine's Killing In The Name Of - a song I could not resist going mental to! Cool Kids Write In Blue were in my view the weakest act, playing covers of Lady Gaga, Enrique Iglesias and New Found Glory aren't things that appeal to me and I was pretty bored. Silent Blackout performed consistently and you know what to expect. Unfortunately I left before the end due to feeling very dehydrated - The Ironworks was sweltering and I was dying for a glass of water.
That wasn't the only thing that made last weekend fantastic - especially from a sporting point of view. This was because we had the Harlequins v Leicester rugby union Premiership final, the England v Norway friendly, the England v West Indies cricket, the England v Barbarians rugby union match, the Crewe Alexandra v Cheltenham League 1 Play-off final, the Monaco F1 Grand Prix AND Soccer Aid 2012! At some points, it got a bit too much as we were so spoilt for choice! I managed to soak up moments of everything and was impressed with the majority - the biggest highlight has to be Nick Powell's stunning strike in the Crewe match, he was the main reason for me wanting to watch that game as there is a lot of talk of Man United being interested in signing the 18 year old attacking midfielder and that goal proved he has a lot of confidence, initiative and can perform on the big stage (the game was held at Wembley). The only disappointment was Lewis Hamilton's performance in the F1, seeing him finish 5th isn't too impressive.
The big news from my point of view today is the release of my rap group - Rat Soup's first song on line!! The track 'Legacy' has been posted on YouTube and can be viewed below. It is the first track we wrote and we are extremely proud of it. Progress with other songs, merchandise, interviews and even a music video are under way! Please tell me what you think of the track and subscribe to us on YouTube if you enjoy!
To finish off, today (Thursday 31st May) is my sister Sophie's second birthday! She's had a set of play food and a cooker to keep her happy and relatives are set to visit to ensure a good day for her and all involved.
Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed the track!
-Andy.
