you were lonely / you were like me

This is so deeply embarrassing….it’s NOT Eric it’s HIM 🔽

ohhhh this is a difficult one. gonna do one per country so i dont just list places from my trip to japan lol.

tokyo - honestly i can't even describe how much i loved visiting tokyo. it has everything. like yes it has the archetypical skyscrapers and crowded streets but it also has peaceful parks and even mountains if you head out to the outskirts (i climbed mt. takao on a recent trip there and it was beautiful). the food was incredible too, of course, and there was so much to do and see that i feel i barely made a dent.

seoul - incredible city. incredible food. so much to do and see including some fantastic museums. the general vibe was great too, and i loved the cafe culture and the shopping streets. i hope to go back soon as i was only there for a few days.

vienna - so many amazing galleries and museums!! like honestly nowhere ive ever been has matched vienna in that regard. it's also beautiful, especially at christmas when i went.

madrid - i love spain in general, but madrid is the main city i want to go back to. it reminds me a lot of london (complimentary), and i love the general atmosphere of the place, not to mention the huge number of galleries and museums. i can't wait to visit again some day!

porto - i didn't know what to expect when i went to porto but i loved it! it's a beautiful city and has some of the nicest food i've ever eaten. so much to see and do too.

thank you!

ohhhh this is so difficult! i've been to many and there may be some recency bias here. im also going to force myself to do each artist only once to avoid a deaf havana sweep lol

deaf havana @ islington assembely hall - this was an anniversary gig where they played my favourite album of all time (old souls) through from start to finish, and it was just a fantastic show at a fantastic little venue. i would go back and experience it again if i could.

taylor swift @ wembley stadium - the eras tour. i went with my mum and sisters and had truly such a fantastic time! we were right up in the gods but it was incredible nonetheless.

the crane wives @ islington assembly hall - this gets marked down slightly for the crowd being a bit weird but still, and amazing band to see live. i dont think i've scream-sung like that before in my life.

noah kahan @ the o2 arena - I got tickets last minute for this one and had the most fantastic time. noah has such a fantastic voice for an arena and hearing your needs, my needs and call your mom live was something else.

dermot kennedy @ the o2 arena - this would have been much higher if it werent for the atrocious crowd. but dermot is an INCREDIBLE performer (as you well know my love) and i was literally re-watching a clip of him performing the weight of the woods earlier today because it was just beautiful

im sure ive forgotten something as these are all in the last three years and ive been going to concerts since i was like 12, but this is what springs to mind!
