What Stereophonics Mean to Me

Hello,

So a long time ago I wrote an article about my life with Oasis and what the band mean to me, so I thought it would be a good idea to write about what Stereophonics mean to me (a lot, to sum it up).

When Stereophonics were just getting into the swing of things, my mum went to a small gig of theirs and she was pregnant with me... I was then born not long after and was brought up with their music.

As soon as I hear their music, it reminds me of when I was younger going on car journeys, enjoying the summer and not worrying about a single thing. They were my favourite band and they used to relax me an extreme amount as soon as I heard their tracks (they still do!).

I remember growing up and suffering with severe panic attacks, and they calmed me down. I'm so pleased to say I'm now free from the suffering, and this is largely thanks to them.

On 28th November 2013, I went to my first Stereophonics concert at the O2 Arena, and it was one of the best nights of my life. It was my very first concert ever, and I'd never felt so alive.

So, on their next tour, 23rd March 2015, I went back to see them at the Royal Albert Hall at their TCT gig. Once again it was amazing, they played new music, and I wasn't disappointed in the slightest.

Finally, 16th December 2015, I went back to the O2 Arena to see them live for the third time. I'd been anticipating to go back for over 2 years, once again an amazing night (and I most definitely wasn't trying to hold back the tears as I heard childhood songs live such as Handbags and Gladrags, Maybe Tomorrow and Mr Writer- of course not...)
