Shrewsbury Folk Festival

Over the bank holiday weekend we made our annual trip up to the Shrewsbury Folk Festival… and as always, it didn’t let me down!

Running from Friday to Monday it’s a super chilled out festival filled with great food, great drinks (all the ciders), great music and lots and lots of dancing. I normally head up on a Friday morning to set up the tent with everyone before chilling out for the afternoon, but since nothing actually begins until the evening, it seemed silly to waste a day’s holiday. So, as my mom usually does, I left most the others to head up in the day and get our little camp set up, before me and my brother-in-law drove up after work (hooray for finishing an hour early on a Friday!

My Current Favourite Albums!

I'm pretty sure that music keeps me sane about 99% of the time, and to be honest, I don't know what the heck I would do without it. No matter what mood I'm in, there's always a particular artist/song for that moment, and I adore the way that music has the power to instantly change your mood. 

I use music to relax me, motivate me, cheer me up... and make me feel virtually every possible emotion. 

Now, all the music I have is stored on my iPod, but only my complete favourites make it onto my phone. This is the thing I take everywhere with me, along with a set of headphones which live permanently in my bag. Together these two items keep me going throughout the day (specifically on long train journeys to and from university), and this is why they are constantly at hand.

So, its time to talk about my current favourite albums!
