We miss live music! As we haven\u2019t been able to host any live music events for over a year now, it\u2019s really made us realise just how much we love it and what joy it can bring. Whether you like big 10-piece jazz bands or getting down on the dancefloor to a live DJ set; here\u2019s just some of the reasons why you should go and see live music \u2013 as soon as you can!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
JOY!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Something we could all do with this year! People listen to music to feel happy and good about themselves and live music really hits another note when it comes down to boosting your mood. Streaming music is great, but when you can see the emotion on your favourite artist\u2019s face and can really feel the vibe through the lyrics; nothing else compares. Sing at the top of your voice and dance like your life depends on it. However you like to express your joy when you\u2019re watching and listening to live music, we say go for it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s get social<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Music brings people together. Music doesn\u2019t care for your age, gender, or ethnicity. Everyone is there at that concert for one reason and one reason only \u2013 the music. It\u2019s amazing who you\u2019ll meet at live gigs; all of you sharing one mutual love for the music and artist\/band. As everyone is a fan, you can talk to anybody about the artist, dance with them to their popular songs and make real life connections with people you wouldn\u2019t necessarily have met. Isn\u2019t that an incredible thing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Inspiration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s no secret that music can bring back old memories and take you back to a moment in your life that you associate with a particular song. Going to a concert and seeing music performed live is definitely an inspiring experience, especially if one the songs takes you back to your youth for example and you remember how you were feeling back then in that time of your life. It could be happy memories, or even sad ones, but either way you\u2019re likely to feel inspired and it will make you appreciate just how far you\u2019ve come as person or. it\u2019ll remind you of your aspirations and what you wanted to do and inspire you to go and do them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Some people may also feel inspired to learn a musical instrument of their own just from watching someone else play theirs and having a good time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
New songs and new artists<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Quite often artists will try out new songs at live gigs to see how the audience reacts to them \u2013 and who doesn\u2019t want to hear a brand-new song from their favourite artist? Artists often talk about their new song too before they perform it, so you\u2019re really going to get an insight into their process and why they wrote that song. We think hearing that first-hand is far better than listening to an interview on YouTube a couple of months after the songs been released. And let\u2019s not forget that if you go and see a band or artist live, they will have support acts. These are usually up and coming artists and we\u2019re all for hearing new music and fresh sounds from new talent!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Making memories<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
One of our favourite reasons we encourage you to go out and see live music is to make memories. We\u2019ve spent so much of our time indoors recently that going out and creating in-person connections and experiences with other people is so important and something we\u2019ve all been lacking. Take photos, dance the night away and sing so loudly that you lose your voice the next day \u2013 we LOVE live music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
