InterRailing

Hey,

This post will be a bit different to the topic of the blog, but I feel it is definitely worth mentioning! Me and two friends are going to go Inter Railing next Summer! A 3 week inter-rail pass only costs €410, which is great value considering you can visit as many countries as you possibly can within a three week period. Once I get Prague out of the way, my plan is to get a loan to buy my ticket. Once the ticket is bought, the ball is then rolling and there is no waiting around until its too late. I will pay off the loan leading up to Summer and then work as many hours as possible before August and save as much as I can. When you take spending money into account, it really adds up to a lot. However, the way I see it is we only get the opportunity to go on an adventure like this while we are in college and do not have loads of responsibilities. You would never know what will happen once you leave college, so I am going to grab this opportunity and embark what will be the trip of a lifetime. So all I have left to say is roll on August 2017!!

Until next time,
Dylan.

Daniel Avery @ District 8

Hey,

As you can tell from my other similar blog posts, District 8 is probably my favourite venue in Ireland.
Saturday gone I had the pleasure of attending Daniel Avery, and he was outstanding. Tickets were sold out, which means the place was packed! When D8 sells out, the atmosphere in the place is next level. Everyone is there for the same love for music and I didn't, nor do I ever, see any violence. Here are two of my favourite Daniel Avery tunes.

#1: Daniel Avery- Need Electric

#2; Daniel Avery- Drone Logic

Until next time,
Dylan.

Tunes On Repeat #12

Hey,

You know the score, here are the three tunes which I have found myself constantly listening to throughout the week.

#1: Coldplay: Everglow
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HH9g5hYKHBU

#2: Paolo Nutini- Last Request
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkA4xcIAvuw

#3:One Republic- Counting Stars
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT_nvWreIhg

Two out of three of these songs are relatively old, but that does not mean that they are not great. Sometimes listening to house or techno gets a bit much and I revert back to these type of songs.

Until next time,
Dylan.

Dusky @ The Button Factory

Hey,

Friday just gone I headed to Dublin to see Dusky with a friend. It was a completely last minute decision, I was in the library doing college work and my friend who is doing an apprenticeship in Dublin lent me some money. I am bad for doing thing on impulse, and I am not totally sure whether that is a good or a bad thing. One thing I done know is that we have a great night. I have always been a fan of Dusky and I could not pass the opportunity to see them.

Here are tow of my favourite tunes by these geniuses:

#1: Dusky: Jilted

#2: Dusky- Buckets

Until next time,
Dylan.

Dylan.

Body & Soul

Hey,

Just bought my ticket for Body & Soul 2017. I have never been but I have heard that it's absolutely amazing. Tickets at the moment cost €165.00 for a weekend camping. The lineup is not announced yet, but it would be a good idea to buy your tickets now at a lower price if you plan on attending.
Just figured I would post this to help people save a few euro.

Until next time,
Dylan.

WHP DJ EZ

Hey,

Me and my friends have made some fairly last minute plans to head to Manchester for the Warehouse Project (WHP). We are going to see DJ EZ on the 3rd of December. I was not really a fan of DJ EZ before Electric Picnic. However, my mates were going to see him so I went with. To say I was blown away is an understatement. He was probably my favourite act of the whole festival. Seriously looking forward to that weekend away. We will probably head out somewhere in Manchester on the Saturday night too, just to make the most of the weekend. I've never been in Manchester, but I have heard nothing but great things about the nightlife. I can't wait to finish my last two assignments and get my three exams over and done with so that I can properly look forward to WHP!\

Until next time,
Dylan.
