6 Things #70: April

Hey friends, how’s it going? I’m here with a fresh dose of 6 things that've been happening/keeping my heart happy lately (in and outside of music). If you’re new here, hello! Welcome to my newsletter. Thanks so much for being here and spending a few moments of your month with me ❤️ Let’s get crackin’, shall we?

The blossom is out 🌸 the hailstones are still making appearances (good ol’ British weather for ya) and Spring is blooming in more ways than one. I am very biased because my birthday is in Spring, but it really is my fave season of the year. April felt like a big exhale. It’s maybe cliche, but stepping back for the first time in a long time and opening myself up to whatever comes next has brought me so much peace?! It was a month of diving back into creative projects, days doing very little (without guilt!!), soaking in new inspiration and allowing ideas to breathe. Here are my highlights:

1. 🪩 Did someone say remix?!
My dance alter-ego project soft centre is making a comeback this year and I was honoured to spend some of April working on a remix for one of my fave NE artists (all will be revealed!). Turning a gorgeous 6/8 tune into a moody, 4-to-the-floor dance banger was SO much fun and I’m really proud of how it’s turned out. Start your guesses!! The pre-save link will be with you soon 🪩 I’m mega excited for you to hear it.

2. 🎹 🎸 Tori Amos at O2 City Hall
I went with my dad, mum and Joe to see Tori Amos LIVE last month AND she played Ruby Through the Looking Glass!!! 😭😭 Truly living out a childhood dream. Ruby is probably my favourite song of hers (I’ve loved Scarlet’s Hidden Treasures EP since being a kid) and her setlist changes every single night, so it was A) a very welcomed surprise and B) even more special hearing it live. I can die happy. A magical show.

3. 📺 Project Hail Mary
An incredible film that I think everyone should see. Project Hail Mary manages to achieve modern-day sci-fi with Star-Wars-era nostalgia. The storyline is BEAUTIFUL, deeply moving and the perfect balance between humour, seriousness and tugging at the ol’ heart strings (I cried for 40-50% of it, but I cry at a lot of things so don’t let that put you off 😂). I loved it SO much, it sticks with you and I feel like it’s a movie I’ll come back to time and time again. A must-watch!!

4. 🎸 Repping (again!)
Show repping is no stranger to 6 Things, but sometimes the freelance work I do really doesn’t feel like work and it’s a pure joy. I had the honour of repping two mint shows in Middlesbrough last month: The Howl & The Hum (solo) and Loren Heat - very different vibes, but equally great shows. I feel very lucky to have played a small part in making those events run smooth and helping all the artists involved have the best experience/show they can. A huge highlight.

5. 💿 Album: TEED - Always With Me
An album I’ve been spending time with from one of my all-time favourite artists, TEED (formerly known as Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs). His latest album Always With Me is full of good-feel electronic music. If you’re looking for a soundtrack to Summer ‘26, let it be this!! My current faves are Endless, Desire and Piece of Me.

6. 🍲 Dish & a vat of minestrone
In all the Dish episodes I’ve watched/listened to, I’ve never felt called to actually make any of the food they serve their guests - until now! I made a VAT of minestrone soup (courtesy of the Sarah Pascoe episode) in the biggest pan I own, my trusty wok 😂, and it was delicious. Were Joe and I sick of minestrone soup 3 meals in? Absolutely. Will I make it again? Definitely. If you’re on the hunt for a new recipe to try or fancy giving this one a go, I highly recommend a peruse through the Dish recipes!

So, they're my 6 things for April! What have you been your highlights recently? Any recommendations? I’d love to hear from you.
