So Far From Whole EP release party
When planning my EP release, I remember being reluctant to hold a release party as I wasn’t sure if many people would want to come. But amazingly, despite all my fears, the venue was packed out!! My friends banded together to help make it an amazing night – I feel so happy and grateful when I remember this night, it’s one of my proudest moments.
My friend Dai was live tweeting the whole event, from setup to show:

Between acts, I had an excellent playlist of female-fronted music playing while I milled around nervously, greeting people and nibbling on pretzels.

My friends and I after the gig <3
Posing with the poster outside – seemed like a good idea at the time.
Afterwards we went for a well-earned McDonalds, after my nerve-ridden tummy preventing me from eating all day. SO good.

Thanks again to everyone who came and supported me, I’m so incredibly grateful. <3 A more thoughtful, introspective blog post about the EP process and launch party will be written shortly!
SFFW UK Tour
I’m touring the UK to promote my new EP, and will be keeping a tour diary! I’m going to turn it into a vlog and hopefully a zine.
