"She showed her strong link with her fans and audience giving an element of fun to her often more somber and emotional songs." Thankyou Tommy G! ☺️🌿

I'm always stoked to see Tom's reviews after a gig, but this one has me feeling especially pleased with all the positive comments about the artists that formed the Upload Fest earlier this month. Please go and check out the full review and some of Tom's other work with the link in this post ❤

Throwback to January! X

THANKYOU! ❤️ 6 months in the making, two reschedules, but we only bloody did it!!! 😁 🍻

Thankyou all for being a great audience, even those of you watching from afar on the stream! You were a laugh but always attentive, I don’t think I can ask for more ☺️

I need to say a massive thankyou to every single act from the day, who all brought such variety to the hall and hopefully to all of you listeners too. And the St James crew have all been amazing through this process. Special thanks to Jon, Greg and Joe for supporting the idea, to Annika for help with promotion, to the bar and Café crew that worked the day and night, to Lloyd for the light show, Woody for the excellent sound, and to him and Sean for setting up and maintaining the live stream. It’s been a brilliant time ❤️

Upload will continue to grow with the help of you all. Stay tuned 🎶 I’m going back to sleep now. 😬

Best do what she says. Share the s**t out of it!!!

It’s getting closer! Kiya told us to “share the s**t out of it”... so let’s all promote “the s**t” out of it!!

I’m playing 3:35-4:05, it’s free entry, it’s St James. It’s chocked full of amazing and talented bands, acts and musicians.. and then there’s me in all of it!

SATURDAY!!!!

30/03/2021

We are READY to bring you LIVE MUSIC!!! 😁🎶✨We promise there’s something for everyone this Saturday, so come down early and start your weekend with some chill vibes 🌿✨ and stay late for the upbeat dancing fun that Yaz and Mike Meinke will have in store! 🍻💃🏽

We’d love for you all to come to St James and party in person 🥳 But, if you can’t because you’re isolating or you’re over seas, you can still join us through the joy of the interwebs 🤓 The entire festival will be streamed by Guernsey Gigs and GnetRadio 🙏🏻 You’ll find those streams linked in our posts on the day 💻
