WIRELESS FESTIVAL: BLUEY ROBINSON

Last Friday, I tagged along with London Village Music to the Wireless Festival as Bluey Robinson was  playing the Pepsi Max stage. I had never been backstage anywhere before and in order to live out my rockstar wife dream (lets face it, I'm the wrong side of 29 to be any kind of Penny Lane)  I gleefully accepted.

Bluey backstage, moments before he went on 

the band- Nathan Williams on drums, Adam Sosner on the guitar and Lawrence Insula on the keyboard 

Everyone went wild when Bluey sang a cover of Bob Marley's Could You Be Loved. The tent was a sea of teenage girls belting out if they too could be loved. 

I was running around like a loon trying to find a decent spot to take a good photo- my little iPhone and Lumix camera couldn't keep up with the pros and their Canons. But did anyone get a shot of Bluey mid air? No. But I did.

Bluey ended the half hour set with Showgirl and judging by the screams, it was a crowd favorite.

Making our way to the guest area afterwards, there were plenty of girls asking for photos with Bluey. But then a group of ripped, bare chested (Top Gun volleyball scene style) guys wearing nothing but their Daisy Dukes came up to Bluey and asked for their photo and congratulated him on a good performance. Definitely my most favorite feel good WTF moment of the day.

The guest area was hosted by Cirque Le Soir- they brought along their circus themed acts, barbecue and Pimms. 

Burlesque! I genuinely wanted to tell her I loved her feathers but even in my head that sounded sarcastic.

i dont even know. I just know it was hot and this person was a trooper.

Flickr hosted a photobooth- yet more photobooth fun!

errrbody

Thanks Bluey for the amazeballs music, Cirque for the burgers and London Village for the hospitality. 

Tomorrow, I round up Wireless: Day 2

To listen to more of Bluey, visit his youtube page, or catch a glimpse of his day here (that is most definitely not me in the background backstage, videobombing...)

Or tweet him some love.
