John Finnemore’s Flying Visit

To those of you who’s seen the show already this year: 

How long is it?

I’m worried about trains and buses after the show so I need some reassurance that I’m not going to get stuck in the middle of nowhere afterwards ;)

Find A Song about all the things that we often want to say - ‘I love you, please don’t leave me’ - but we stop ourselves because we’re grown up and grown ups don’t do that

Ferris & Sylvester - Flying Visit

Ferris & Sylvester have released their brand new single ‘Flying Visit’. The soulful love song finds the pair baring their hearts and pleading for the other to stay through their raw vocal delivery. The song begins and ends with the simple statement ‘I love you’, and travels through a child-like yet sombre confession accompanied by guitar, strings and a hammond organ. Regarding the single Ferris & Sylvester say, “Quite simply, it’s a love song. It’s all the things that we often want to say - ‘I love you, please don’t leave me’ - but we stop ourselves because we’re grown up and grown ups don’t do that. Children are much better at speaking their minds and that’s what inspired this song – unaffected and unashamed love.” (press release)

A flying visit to London

You won't see me in London unless I can't help it, but work called so I traveled down to the stinking smoke. It ended up being rather nice!

I took the overnight bus and arrived bright and early in London after a surprisingly restful night and warm, comfortable bus journey. Since even in London not many businesses open before 7am on a Sunday I decided to wander a little before heading to Wetherspoon for a veggie breakfast wrap and six lattes, big fan of the free refills! I charged my phone, planned my route, and picked up a bunch of meal deals to get me through the day before heading to the venue. The Shaw Theatre is situated near Euston Station and a simple but classy theatre with ridiculously comfortable seats! I was the first to arrive so made myself familiar with the venue and explored the maze of a backstage area, without the signage on the walls I'd still get lost even after a day of running back and forth through its long echoing halls.

The tech team, wardrobe manager, and dancers arrived and from then on everything went full steam ahead. We sow, change batteries, tape the floors, and then open the house for two shows of We Call It Ballet! Before I realised the day was over and we were loading the truck with stage equipment again. I had a nice and drizzly walk back to my bnb before falling asleep on my bed. My small, simple, but sufficient room was at ground floor level which was a big relief, I was right across from a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom, and toilet, and would happily stay at 10b Pratt Street again!

The next day I'd given myself some time to catch up on work and with friends before getting on the train back north. I started the day at Caffe Nero where they had comfy seats, good coffee, WiFi and plugs, before I went to meet a friend I hadn't seen properly in years at The Living Room Club Cafe! The place quite literally looked like the way I'd want my future living room to look and had a wonderfully welcome team of staff waiting on us. We felt right at home and talked like we'd just seen each other, we've known each other for a good few years and have gone through some boy trouble which has made for some great stories. We then opened our laptops for a bit of co-working before I headed to King's Cross Station for my train back north. My plan had been to return to Wetherspoon but of course the place was packed and I absolutely did not fancy that so I ended up at Leon where I had a wonderful vegan burger and some mushroom and tomato arancini on the side! Although slightly pricy, very tasty, so well worth it.

Despite the stink of London and its mostly grumpy inhabitants, I did actually enjoy my time wandering its street which is a good thing because I'll be back in March!

A flying visit to the Netherlands

For my mom's sixtieth she decided to unpack and organise a party including live music, so me and my guy of course had to travel over to the Netherlands to attend this extravaganza and spend some time with my family. We arrived a few days earlier and spent a day in Delft, enjoyed a lovely lunch at De Sjees, then finally visited the Nieuwe Kerk and climbed its tower. Since our ticket included entry to the Oude Kerk, we did that one too. Now I'm not a fan of monarchies nor religion but I never skip a visit to a stunning old building! After that we got a wonderful selection of cheeses at Verkade & Jacques and enjoyed a lovely evening in.

Next we drove up north to visit the grandparents for a catch-up and lovely lunch at De Bosberg with the family. Since England does not have 'kroketten' that's what I enjoyed as much as possible, I got the vegetarian version and a delicious glass of red. After our lunch we headed up De Bosbergtoren, which is - supposedly - on top of an old oak tree and only cost €2.50 to enter. With many platforms to step out on and stairs with tiny wholes in them I did start to feel a bit queasy at the top but the view and the golden hour made it more than worth it!

The day of the main event had arrived; the celebration of my mom's 60th birthday with a live band at a beautiful live music venue; Dolhuis in Dordrecht. Before that we went into the city for a brief round of the shops and a wonderful lunch with a cauliflower soup at my father's regular record store based at Het Magazijn. We returned home to get ready for the main event; my mother's birthday! She'd hired a venue and booked a band - super proud - and invited family, friends, and neighbours which meant that I'd also caught up with all of them in one fell swoop! On Saturday we took our rest and hung out at the house I grew up in which was rather lovely. We listened to Interpol and made an elaborate English Breakfast, and then started packing, for the next day would be the last of this trip.

We went to free historic attraction Castellum, and moved on to Maximus Proeflokaal for an incredible veggie burger and stouts. The stouts were so good that my dad bought himself a case from the neighbouring shop. After that we headed to TivoliVredenburg in Utrecht city centre for the cherry on top; Subterranean Street Society's headline show! I've been working with the band for a good few years and aside from being incredible musicians, they are also a bunch of wonderful humans I love to spend time with, so to say we had a fantastic evening is still an understatement. The next morning we flew back in the early hours of the day to return to our beloved home, and chosen family. It was a wonderful, though very brief, flying visit.
