For me, this year has been amazing. I've been able to see my favourite artists: Jake Bugg and Miles Kane, and I've been able see to all these superb artists in incredible venues. Venues that should not be dismissed and forgotten about! 

I hope that 2014 brings many more gigs in many more incredible venues. I cannot wait to be doing this again next year and showing you all the amazing artists I have seen, I'm quite excited!

So it's come to the end of the year and I can't seriously believe how quick it's flown by!

2013 has been a very productive and somewhat wild year for the music world. And obviously, a year within the music industry does not come without controversy. 

*cough* Robin Thicke *cough* Miley Cyrus *cough* Kanye West *cough*

With the amount of album releases we've had this year, I have found it sooooo hard to decide my top 13. Also, they are not ordered from 1 to 13 simply because I couldn't find my absolute favourite within these 13 - however, they are chronologically ordered by month of release. Here it goes:
