Ron Pope

Last night my flatmates and I took a trip to a trendy little club in Nottingham called Bodega. Its a tiny venue that always has loads of small gigs by little known bands and dj's but has also been host to a few big names such as Coldplay, MGMT and Arctic Monkeys. The reason we went was to see American singer/songwriter Ron Pope who was supported by Caggie Dunlop (of Made In Chelsea fame!). I have to admit the main reason most of us went was to see Caggie, but having downloaded Ron's album a few weeks beforehand I was rather excited about seeing him too, and I wasn't disappointed.

The gig was simple and intimate, just Ron and his guitar and keyboard. He played about 12 songs and finished with my favourite song Drop in the Ocean. I'll definitely be downloading his new album when it's released in April and would go and see him again if he ever comes back to Nottingham :) Had a cheeky chat with Ron at the end and he seemed like a genuinely lovely guy.

Caggie was great too she sung a covers of Rihanna and Jessie J as well as a few songs she had written herself. I loved what she was wearing. Stripped leggings with a beautifully simple coral shirt, wrists and fingers adorned with gold jewellery.
