Starting with the sideshow gig of fellow Nottingham lad Jake Bugg and then moving on to Lorde and Axwell’s performances at the main Lollapalooza festival. I had no idea that they would get published and indeed my Jake Bugg piece was also used by Nottingham Evening Post back in England.

I had a great time writing them and apparently they were really well received. Amazing what you can do with a bit of time and endeavour (although I have to say writers block did set in at 2:30am in the case of the Jake Bugg review!). Although meeting Mr Bugg and his band in person was a good excuse for being up so late…
