IMRO Venue Awards.



 Bonjour tout le monde! 

 On Tuesday 26th of February, I went to IMRO Venue Awards. For those who don't know what IMRO (Irish Music Rights Organisation) is, it's  a 'national organisation that administers the performing right in copyright music in Ireland on behalf of its members and on behalf of the songwriters, composers and music publishers of the international overseas societies that are affiliated to it' (Thanks Wikipedia).
The night started with a band, called Pillow Queen that is composed of 4 girls from Dublin. I would describe their music as rock/indie. 
Then, a band called Moncrieff, played. The voice of the main singer remind me a bit of Hozier's voice. They described their genre as 'Neo Noir'.
The last band, called Inhanler. Everybody was expecting them as the main singer, Elijah Hewson, is the song of Bono from U2. They're a young band as they only have a song or two released. But during the night, they sang 4 songs which sounded a bit like U2, but you would expecting that. Even though what they're doing are really good. You can have a listen below.
All the band that were singing were from Ireland (of course) but they played very well. You should definitely give a listen If you're into Rock/indie. Ireland have amazing artists, in my opinion and that night showed it perfectly.

Anne-Marie - Hammersmith Apollo.

Bonjour tout le monde. A few nights ago I went to see Anne-Marie at Hammersmith Apollo. Not like my previous concert, I was at the back. I have to say, It was quite difficult to see Anne-Marie as I'm small and I only had tall people in front of me. The support act of Anne Marie was Lennon Stella, she is quite well known as one of her song, "Polaroïd" featured the famous singers Liam Payne and Jonas Blue. Unfortunately, me and my friends miss half of her show but from what I've heard, she seems lovely. Like every other show, Anne Marie and her band came 30 minutes after the support act. She first started to sing "Bad Girlfriend" and couple of songs on her latest album " Speak Your Mind " that came out last year. My friends were having so much fun as they went to the see her in many cities around Europe so they knew every detail of her show. During Rockabye, Anne-Marie chooses a fan to sing Sean Paul's part and the fan did an incre...

Travel - Iceland.

Bonjour tout le monde! Last week, I went to Iceland on my own. It was the best experience in my life, being alone in such a beautiful country. In this blog post, I will talk about my trip but also giving you tips If you wanna go on my budget (like I did). TRANSFER :  I arrived on the 20th of March. To go to Rekjavik, you either rent a car or if you don't have a driving license, dow nload the app " Strætó" (the bus app)  and It will tell you to take the bus 55 that will take you to Reykjavik center ( It will cost you approximately 14euros) STAY : I rented an airbnb that cost me 360euros (which was less expensive than a hotel and only 20 minutes by walk from the center). Or you can stay in a hostel and make friends from all over the world!  I spent the first 3 days in Reykjavik (mainly buying gifts for my family) but I also walked around in Reykjavik. MUSEUMS/ ACTIVITIES : Unlike the UK and Ireland, (National) Museums are not free. You have to pay somet...
