Cover me in sunshine!


Each and every month we share updates from those who make up our user-led team, Soul Fly Buddies.


For the month of March we hear from Karen (below left), who tells us about TWO epic live music experiences.

"As I reflect on this month's adventures, I can't help but be filled with excitement and nostalgia. What better way to break the monotony of everyday life than by immersing oneself in the electrifying atmosphere of live concerts? This February, I had the privilege of attending not just one, but two spectacular performances that left an indelible mark on my soul. 


On the unforgettable evening of Friday, February 9th, Lisa (my buddy, above right) and I embarked on an exhilarating journey to witness the incomparable P!nk in action. The anticipation was palpable as we eagerly made our way to the venue. From the moment P!nk graced the stage, her magnetic presence had the audience spellbound.


With her powerful vocals and awe-inspiring acrobatics, she delivered a performance that transcended all expectations. However, the highlight of the night for me was when her daughter Willow joined her on stage to perform "Cover Me in Sunshine," a moment of pure magic amidst the pouring rain.


Standing in the midst of it all, surrounded by fellow fans in the standing section, I felt an overwhelming sense of joy and camaraderie. The opening acts, including the phenomenal Tones and I and an exceptional DJ, only added to the euphoria of the evening. After the show, we retreated to a nearby hotel, relishing the opportunity to escape our daily routines for a night and revelling in the convenience of the city location, with the light rail right at our doorstep. 


Fast forward to Monday, February 26th, a date etched in my memory as I embarked on yet another musical odyssey, this time with the incomparable Taylor Swift.


Despite my initial apprehensions about the potential chaos of the event, those fears were quickly dispelled as soon as Taylor took to the stage. Surrounded by a sea of adoring fans, I was swept away by the sheer energy and enthusiasm that filled the arena. Though our seats were further from the stage, the experience was no less enchanting as we soaked in every moment of Taylor's captivating performance. As the final notes faded into the night, I couldn't help but marvel at the seamless organisation that saw us swiftly exiting the car park and making our way home with ease. 


In retrospect, these concert experiences were not merely about witnessing musical prowess but about creating lasting memories with cherished friends and embracing the magic of live performance.


From P!nk's awe-inspiring showmanship to Taylor Swift's undeniable charisma, each moment was a testament to the transformative power of music. As I eagerly await my next concert adventure, I am reminded once again of the profound joy and connection that music brings to our lives, uniting us in a shared celebration of artistry and emotion."
