She's Got Sass & Swag

“She’s Got Sass & Swag”

‘She’s got sass and swag’ shouts a girl on her friends bouncing shoulders.

As the small sociable circles, surrounded by their empty cider bottles, awaited the R&B, electro, new wave collaborative sounds of Solange Knowles. Being the younger sister of Beyonce Knowles hasn’t shadowed the 26 year old singer-songwriter, as she embraced the stage wearing stripy harem trousers, a patterned blouse and an afro so big you could see it from the other side of the festival, whilst she rhythmically swayed.

The ‘Eat your own ears’ stage was overpowered by the sprightly cheering of her fans, one of whom shouted that he was going to have a house party and invite Solange ( good luck!) Her followers carried on their enthusiasm for her by singing and dancing, if slightly out of control in places, for a full hour. Only to be rewarded with her final song, that broke into the UK indie chart, ‘Loosing You.’ The beat allowed the whole crowd to bob in unison, and the straight forward lyrics meant that everyone could sing along, no matter how out of tune.  

The gig was a welcomed introduction to start to the summer, and it was accompanied by the jolly and somewhat tipsy festival goers of Field Day. Who were enjoying their day aimlessly hopping around the meadow and chanting to the up and coming indie bands that danced onto the stages. Escaping from any troubles they might have to face outside of the festival gates.

The sun graced us with its warm rays, a welcome ( if rare) weather contribution that complimented the upbeat music and the soulful voice of Solange, as she aced her set, and  left the stage with sass and swag still fully intact

How To Make Your Own Purse

These are a great bit of creativity that stops you getting bored, and you get a unique purse out of it.

You start by getting an A4 piece of paper and filling it on both sides with images from magazines.

Once you have done this you need to put it in a plastic wallet and sow around the edge. Then you need to fold it three quarters of the way and sow it there. This should create the bottom and top half of the purse.
The last step is to simply glue on Velcro so that the purse closes and voila a your done. :).

My Boomtown Experience

I've recently bought my Boomtown ticket and am really excited about it even though it's seven months away. I've been to quite a few festivals, from the little local, 'Beautiful Days' to the televised,'Bestival' but nothing compares to the sheer surprise that I experienced last year at Boomtown.
We got there and had to weave in and out of giant beds placed on the hill without the early birds already relaxing on them in the sun. We walked past dozens of interesting stalls, selling all kinds of quirky objects. And then we came across what was to be one of our favourite stages of the weekend 'Arcadia.' An enormous steel spider with rotating stages placed on the top, and platforms that the artists could run down to interact with their audience meters below.
After setting up we enjoyed a weekend in the sun (very surprising for England I know)  where we could wander into the forest to listen to reggae. Or walk about the town watching the rap battles, parades, flash mobs and so much more.
But when the night fell, the place transformed, and everyone came out in their fancy dress covered in glitter and paint. The cardboard town had somehow expanded to reveal more stages,  most very small and with living room furniture to properly set the mood. One of my favorites was hidden inside a telephone box and upon entry you must state that you know Charlie Brown then once inside, it is set up like a 1920's speakeasy with fake police staging acquisition's. It felt so real the first time, but the fact that everyone played along just shows the nature of the festival. Another great stage was the bank, with this stage you had to walk though a cloakroom to collect a blazer before actually going in. I had never seen anything as exciting as this before, every new stage we found surprised us, and gave us a sense of achievement.
Boomtown was definitely my best festival of 2012, I would recommend it to any festival goer. However I don't think this should be your first festival, as it might be a little too much to handle plus any festival afterwards would be a let down.
