Roundhouse Duties!

Renwick McAslan

You may remember when, back in September, I became a blogger for the Roundhouse, London. Well, as part of my duties, I was commissioned to write an article on getting into the advertising industry so I travelled into Central London to interview Renwick McAslan from BBH Advertising. After getting over the initial nerves of my first interview with someone, I managed to carry out a twenty-minutes-long session. Later, I transcribed and edited the interview to then be submitted to the coordinator of the Roundhouse Bloggers' Project. Having checked the website, I am now very excited to announce that the interview has been published... Click here to check it out!

I highly recommend checking out the other activities going on at the Roundhouse as there are some remarkable opportunities to be had there. It truly is more than just a good music venue.

Interrail 2016: LAKE BLED

Our longest journey by far turned out to be well worth the pain. Although it was nine hours long and we waited for the wrong bus in Bled for over an hour, we had a Harry Potter compartment and we arrived at our destination- Lake Bled, Slovenia. What a place. We lobbed our bags into the lockers at our hostel and immediately went on the hunt for a restaurant to eat at (nine hours of travelling can certainly work up an appetite). Pizzeria Rustica served us enormous pizzas and also some pizza-burgers, which are basically burgers with pizza dough for bread. According to my friends, pizza-burgers are something that should be brought to our hometown. As it was relatively late by the time we had finished, we only had time to walk to the lake itself before getting to bed. On arrival, we had been asked by the hostel whether we were there more for the night life or nature. Considering the fact that we were deprived of at least 20 hours sleep, we went for nature, rejecting ...

"I Cry When I Laugh" - Jess Glynne - Album Review

Not many artists can say that they've had five number ones before releasing their debut album but one 25-year-old can. Known for featuring in the song of 2014 ‘Rather Be’, Jess Glynne has come a long way since her rejection from The X-Factor ten years ago. Her album, ‘I Cry When I Laugh’, retains the dance vibes she has become renowned for from her singles, but also experiments with softer sounds, notably on album track ‘Take Me Home’. Citing her influences to include Amy Winehouse, Aretha Franklin and Frank Ocean, the album diverts away from the typical pop regime, with elements of R&B featuring in the tracks. For the album, the London girl palled up with fellow British artist Emeli San d é t o collaborate on “Saddest Vanilla”- an appropriate name choice for a song so lackadaisical. Despite the docile pace of the song, this track stands out- for all the wrong reasons. I can appreciate the fact that Glynne wanted a mix of tempos on the album but the dreary track merely ...

Interrail 2016: VIENNA

With less than 24 hours in Austria, we knew that we'd have to make every minute count in the country's capital city. After quickly leaving our bags in our hostel room, we walked into the Museum Quartier, which is home to some very, very grand buildings. The Quartier leads to the shopping centre of Vienna, where we visited Tchibo to buy some essentials (British Tchibos, I miss you) and wandered around. Vienna is well-known for its cafes, so we found a place that had stunning looking cakes and settled down in some plush seats. Despite the 27 degree Celsius temperatures, I went for a hot chocolate and Austria's famous chocolate torte, which has apricot jam added to it. I can't say that I was the biggest fan of the apricot addition but the cake as a whole was delicious. It seems to be a recurring thing that we find some great amusement in the bathrooms of our Interrailing countries. On our trip to the cafe's bathrooms, we were alarmed to find that the ...
