hey. what’s up?

hey dudes. I’m sat in a cafe in London with a hot choc, just spent a couple hours getting everything ready to launch my new online merch store tomorrow. woo!

earlier on I went to a ‘business brunch’ that my friend Lex organised - when I got there there were a table full of gals who were creative / freelance / self employed or had jobs with other side hustles. The idea was we all got to meet & chat about what we were working on, any troubles we were having & share contacts, advice & support! It was awesome. We’re gonna start doing em monthly and inviting others along! With a job like music or writing or editing there’s just no HR / formal support system and it can often feel pretty isolating.. so this felt like the perfect antidote to that!

I’m about to leave to go to seee HAIM! I spontaneously bought tickets earlier after major FOMO from hearing about their show here last night. They’re playing Alexandra palace which is a reallly gorgeous venue, so I’m so excited! Tomorrow looks like a chilled morning & then cracking on with launching the merch store and finishing my podcast.

WHAT ARE YOU UP TO THIS WEEKEND? X

Omg Haim were absolutely amazing yesterday!! me and some friends queued 13 hours and were first in the queue but people pushed and we ended up getting side of stage but it was still an awesome show!

Heyy! Hope you’re having an awesome time, that sounds like such an amazing idea!! I’m currently lucky enough to be on holiday in Croatia enjoying the sun ☀️☺️ going for a Father’s Day boat trip tomorrow and then heading home next week to start house hunting!! Enjoy the show!! x

Oh Haim is soooo cool, recently watched their apple music documentary and their bond is just so awesome... and I'm really excited for your merch! I'm currently in the stress that comes with being all hand raiseee(meaning hand raising? does that make sense?) when it comes to organizing the prom and the yearbook, and the yearbook being fucked up by the printing company, yay how fun ! and people being really hard to motivate to help setting up the prom this monday (aaaaah)... but I'm gonna finally get my dslr on monday, so I can fully document my trip to england..which starts on wednesday.. I'm sooo excited! And t-swizzle concert on friday! really can't believe that all of these things actually worked out (apart from the yearbook, still REALLY bitter about that) and I'm really done with school FOR FOREVER wHaT

Enjoy Haim and your new monthly business meeting/underground arts club! I'm going to a festival in Germany next week. It's the first time I've left the UK in 5 years and I couldn't be more excited!!!! I hope your weekend's proper boss and that goes for everyone!

What a cool idea. It sounds like that would be good for you. Both the meetings and the gig. I hear HAIM are amazing live. This weekend so far I’ve seen Katy Perry live and said goodbye to my family as they leave for Australia. Today I’ve been writing in my concert journal (over 900 pages long now!) and tomorrow I’ll be at the o2 arena seeing Yes live.

Orla, you should form a collective (or when you're famous) a creative co-working space for musicians with recording, rehearsal and mixing studios for independent artists! #justathought

Today.... Desperately working to finish my new song for this month. Been difficult. Good challenge though, as it has forced me into more tactics and methods for crafting music. Also trying to not sound British when singing.... too much Bastille listenings for me I think!!!

Sam Flint

Hi Orla :) life is good I'm just heading into finals week and then I'll be all done grade 11 (whoop whooooop). In other news, I spent this past week recording one of my tunes and that I'm really quite proud of. I think I'm gonna make a lil video for it too, so needless to say, life is good and I'm happy. Hope you have a good day!

Orla Gartland

Oh my gooooodness well FECK THOSE PEOPLE, gross of them to do that after you’d been queueing for so long! Ugh yes so good can’t believe how good it was

Orla Gartland

:) ugh amazing. Sounds like a great time though house hunting can be a headache so GOOD LUCK STAY STRONG X

Orla Gartland

Yesssss! Loved that documentary. Ahhh feck the printing company, losers. Wow, yay about T Swiz & England, I hope you have an amaaazing time. X

Orla Gartland

Ahh thank you. Aw hope the goodbye to your fam wasn’t too hard. Big things. :) wow about your concert journal! You should do a vid reading out some bits from it !!

Orla Gartland

Ah, sometimes it just doesn’t come. Hahahaha that is so funny as most people here sing with an American accent

Just back from seeing Taylor Swift with Charli XCX and Camilla Cabello in Croke Park last night. I had a great time - usually I go to more rock-type concerts which are just purely music, but this is the first time I ever went to like...a "show"! (she flew through the air in a cobra skeleton like what!) Thoroughly enjoyed it I must say. When she hit the key change in Love Story it was honestly euphoric! :D

You won't regret grabbing HAIM tickets. I saw them last month when they were in MN and it was quite the show. Hope it was good! I've been watching a ton of world cup and loving it.
