Update - Gig/College/Weather
Hi everyone,
sorry for not updating but I keep forgetting. Either that or I can't be bothered. Just thought I'd let you all know I have now finished college and successfully completed my first year. I will be returning in September to start a media course and I am really looking forward to it. Also on Saturday 11th June 2011 I met up with Ceejay again, and also Craig, Jayde, Darryl, Mark, David Young so it was a good night. Photos are attached below. Recently I have put up my photo gallery as it was accidentally deleted by CEEJAY when we upgraded the site to Joomla, but it is back up now and hopefully I will upload some of my college work to that when I start my new course. Weather has been raining a lot but not really cold, it's suppose to be sunny and hot on Monday with temperatures reaching 30c (86f) in Southern England and 26c (78f) in Northern England. So I will look forward to that. Anyway here's the photos. The first one is of Ceejay (left) and me (right) and the second is Craig (left), Jayde (middle) and me (right).

My ten seconds of fame
Sorry for not updating, hope you all are enjoying the new site design. Tonight I had my ten seconds of fame on the Italian TV channel "RTL 102.5", and you can see the video of that here. Let me all know what you think. Just so you know, "Ciao da Inghilterra" is Italian for "Hello from England". Note it's best if you set the quality to 1080 and view in full screen.

Weekend meet up!!
Well what can I say, this weekend has been awesome! I am not home yet however, I am currently in the car going home. It will be a long journey :( well I'm sure I'll survive.
Firstly, who was i meeting? A few people I know off the Internet. My friend, Chris McNally (better known as Ceejay) had arranged a gig at a music venue in his area near Birmingham. The name of the venue was Base Studios and it's in a town called "Stourbridge". Anyway I was meeting up with him, and I also invited two other people to come - Darryl from Tonbridge in the south of England and also Mark from Lincoln, in the east of England.
Well we left Billingham at about 11am, travelling across Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and into Staffordshire. The whole journey took around 3 and a half hours and we stopped off at Trowell motorway services just outside Nottingham at about 1pm for a Burger King. While I was there I phoned Darryl to see where he was and he said he was walking to the hotel. So we had our food and continued the journey.
We arrived at the hotel, Premier Inn which is in Kingswinford, near Dudley. Once we were checked in and had our room I phoned Darryl again to see if he was at the hotel, he said he had got lost and his phone was nearly out of battery. He found out the name of the street he was on was Moss Grove so Dave put it on the GPS on his phone and we drove to pick him up. Well meeting him for the first time was awesome, he got in the back of the car and we drove him to the hotel in Kingswinford. He got checked in at the hotel and Dave went for a shower and we met back up with Darryl in the hotel restaurant ten minutes later. We drank in the restaurant and spoke with Darryl about everything.
At around 4:45pm Dave phoned for a taxi to take us to Base Studios. And it came at 5:15pm. Originally we had got into the wrong taxi but the driver did point it out and we got into the right one. I had my iPhone GPS on and had to give the driver the directions and I did go wrong at a couple of points but we got there in the end. Once we were outside Base I phoned Chris/Ceejay and we met up inside. Not long after we all arrived the sound checks begun which were loud. I also met Kev who is from Justin.tv and had driven all the way from Norfolk which is Eastern England. He had drove Chris to Base from his house. The doors didn't officially open until 7pm. Not too long after they did open I met Mark who had driven from Lincoln. He talked to me, Dave, Darryl and Chris and it was awesome. This was probably one of the best weekends I've had. When the bands started I recorded them for Chris with his video cameras. I had to wear some kind of device around my shoulder to hd the camera but everything went well and I successfully filmed all the gigs.
One thing I forgot to mention. I also met David Young who played at Base that night. David is an extremely talented young man and I urge you all who are reading this to check out his website www.davidyoung-music.co.uk and also check out some of his music on YouTube. My favourite song is "Time of your life".
Today I woke up around 5:30am, checked my emails, sent replies and went back to sleep. I woke again at about 10am, got up at 10:20 or so, showered and me and Dave went to meet Darryl. We then headed to the McDonalds around the corner, had our breakfast/lunch and when we had finished we drove Darryl to the train station. After that we headed off home.
And that was the entire weekend. I really really enjoyed it. If you want to watch the videos then go to the YouTube channel "UKgetdiscovered" and check the vids out. They may not all be on there yet as there is hours of footage needing to be edited.
Thanks for reading, peace out!

New Housing Estate in Billingham - "College Gardens"
Hey guys, I just wanted to update my blog and talk about a new housing estate which is being built in Billingham, originally the site of an old college, it was demolished a few years ago and they have now begun building houses there and the estate is called "College Gardens". These houses are the newest in the town and are very modern, another thing which also makes these houses modern is some of them have solar panels which is of course very eco-friendly and can be used as a backup if the main power goes offline. Anyway I shot these pictures on Friday afternoon and thought I'd share them here. Let me know what you guys think in the comments. I may upload some more pictures in the photo gallery under "Billingham" and create a sub album called "College Gardens".
