Focus Wales - 07/05/22

 07/05/22 - Wrexham, Wales

Saturday, was Focus Wales day. This event is an event spread over 15 venues with hundreds of bands playing over 3 days. I attended on the Saturday to watch bands Hollows and The Montagues play. I will be writing about the bands I got to see only, to the best of my knowledge as I was in full festival mode and spent more time in the local pubs and falling down the stairs in the local Wetherspoons. I still had an amazing time however.

Hollows

First band I went to see was Hollows. Now in a few short months these lads have been amazing and they have grown on me so much. They have the most amazing songs and I really got stuck into having a great time during their set down at Central. Despite being totally drunk, I still know that they played an amazing set. I honestly love these lads so much, I can't wait to support them further and come and see them all over the country. They are going to do so well and I can't wait to be there the entire time just watching them smash it every single time.

H.u.m.a.n.

The Next band I saw and the next few were all playing at a venue called The Wynnstay. Which is also a hotel (very handy to know for tour) as I rocked up heavily drunk by this point and falling over my own feet. I came across a band called Human. They sounded brilliant and I enjoyed watching bits of their set. I will need to catch these fellas again whilst sober. I have little recollection of speaking to their lead singer but I did and he seemed lovely. They will see me again, just not in the state that I was in. Still a great band that I will defo be checking out and seeing again in the future. I wish them all the best of luck and I defo won't be smashed out my face when they see me again.

The Montagues

The next band to play was The Montagues. These guys have my heart and so much more. I would literally do anything for these lads. I have so much love for them and they have become such great pals in such a short space of time. I even faced my fear of needles again and got a tattoo for them!! That's how much they mean to me.
Their set was fantastic. All original, all of my favourite songs. So yes I went a little wild while they were onstage. Despite being super horribly drunk, I managed to photograph for them and came out with some of the best images. 
Everyone knows I will be seeing this band again for sure. I will be around forever now and nothing will ever stop me from being there for them. I can't wait for new music, new shows just content in general. The Montagues have my entire heart and I can't thank them enough for everything that they have done for me. They are a credit to themselves and everyone around them.

Pale

The last band I managed to see properly before my drunken self took off and went wandering was Pale. I was introduced to Pale from a good friend of mine who knows the band well. Now they are stuck with me!! I really enjoyed watching Pale for a short time. I would most definitely go and see them again, preferably more sober next time.
From what I heard they have a great sound and I bet that they are a lovely bunch who I will defo introduce myself to next time I get to a gig of theirs. 
I wish them all the best for the future and cannot wait to check them out properly and see them next.
