Beauty After Bruises by Louise Distras
Introduction I first saw Louise about five years back and was so impressed I bought her "Street Revolution" EP and then made the faux-pas of talking to her backstage and not realising it was her at first. C'est La Vie.

River Studios Open mic 30th of March
It's only me, Charlie Smith back again to do a little write-up about another open mic night at River Studios! Yes, another month has flown by and it's time to take a little recap. This month's article has been slightly delayed just because of how busy I have been in early April. I had the pleasure on Sunday the 2nd of April of hosting my first-ever gig outside of Southampton at the Rail Way Inn, Winchester. While I think it was a smashing gig I can't lie it has taken a lot out of me to put on the evening. I will have a full article coming out about that hopefully in the coming week. I also decided to have a break over the Easter period to try and relax somewhat. It's not always easy to switch off as an indie musician as there are always more gigs to play, practise to do and songs to write. Keeping on writing articles like this is also a challenge for me! Not really for any specific reason other than I am good at procrastinating. So now with having a few days off, I feel fresh and ready to get back to writing, music and gig planning. No maybe not quite fully refreshed, but it will do. I've still got a few chocolate eggs left to eat so that will give me a bit of energy to write the rest of this article.... I hope.

Looking For New Songs?
New songs that you love are hard to find sometimes. This is a fun game to find new artists and new songs of all genres. My friends and I use to play this all the time. We referred to it as "The Word Game". We usually used Spotify as we have premium, but could probably be played on any music platform. So, here's the game. Pick a word or phrase and type it into the search bar. After that choose songs and pick the first one that you don't know. Sometimes we would use a random word generator. Example time. Let's use the word "Crowd".

These women were the pioneers of their time, breaking down barriers and paving the way for future generations of female artists. One of the most significant of these trailblazers was the first lady singer.
