Today at my school, my friends and I performed for a presentation evening. Our guest speaker was Jon Tickle.
Jon Tickle, in case you don’t know, was on BB4 and co-presented Braniac.
This is the most famous person I have met in a long time, so I thought I’d better name drop and share!

I love love love Ellie, she can’t do wrong when she’s acoustic.
This is a different style to what I usually love from her but I am hopelessly in love with this track and can’t stop listening. – I adore the electric guitar! Can’t you imagine it being in a very dramatic travelling scene in a film?
Closed for Love – Ellie Goulding
