Tonight Mum, Hien and I went to see a string quartet from String Infusion perform at Manchester Cathedral. The evening was promoted as a musical sensory experience, with two performances. One of ABBA songs and one of Whitney Houston songs. Here are some photos from the evening, click on any photo for full size image:
We had a fantastic evening. The performance was exceptional in every sense of the word.
There’s much cause for excitement with me at the moment. I’m looking forward to some recent and new album releases and some TV shows.
Jake Shears has just released his new album, Last Man Dancing. I’ve got the album and am looking forward to a long drive and enjoying listening to the sound of his voice.
I’ve just learned that Stephen Lynch the musical comedian has released a new album My New Heart. I can’t wait to listen and laugh to it.
Kylie Minogue has a new album coming out, titled Tension. I’m hoping it’s better than her last couple of albums. Hoping it sounds like Kylie in the 90s.
McFly are releasing their long awaiting album titled Power to Play. I am soo excited for this release!
There’s some brilliant TV Shows out/coming out, including:
The Umbrella Academy Season 3The Mandalorian Season 3Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3

Taylor Swift – Anti-Hero
I love that this a song about depression and Taylor describes it perfectly. Yet the tune isn’t down or slow, but an upbeat tribute to her struggles.

Tina Turner – Simply The Best
When we lost Tina Turner recently, we lost a musical legend. I was lucky enough to see her live in Manchester, back in 2009. See photos and blog post from the time.

Tracy Chapman – Fast car
I’ll be honest, I’ve loved this song for years. It is about escaping a harsh reality and the hope for better days in the future. Tracy has a beautiful voice.

Lucy Spraggan – Balance
I love Lucy Spraggan’s honesty in this song. She strives for something we all do: balance in our lives. But this song is about more than this. It is about her realising, that perhaps having someone along on her journey might be a good thing.

Nicole Scherzinger – Don’t Hold Your Breath
This song is definitely one I listen to repeat. It’s about realising how badly you’ve been treated by someone that’s supposed to care for you. Realising it, getting angry and saying F##K YOU, I AM NEVER GOING BACK TO THAT S##T.

Oleta Adams – Get Here
Oleta Adams expresses the desire and longing we can have for that special person. Her voice is phenomenal and she is someone I would love to see live, just for this one song.

A happy, up-beat song. I love all The 1975 music, but this has got to be my faviourate track off their latest album.
