Ellie Goulding live on Radio 1

Writing music reviews on a freelance basis has meant I've been lucky enough to watch some really great performances over the last few years. A few weeks ago I was invited to the Radio 1 studios in Maida Vale to watch Ellie Goulding perform a live lounge session for Zane Lowe - am I lucky or what?!

Here's my little pass I had to wear around the Radio 1 studios, I was so honoured to have special access inside such a legendary venue where so many stars have made such amazing music.

Here's the gorgeous Miss Goulding herself, she looked rock n roll with her tartan trousers and plain white vest and biker boots. She performed and sang all her hits to the live studio audience and also thousands of Radio 1 listeners, where she managed to sing every song astoundingly and with what seemed like very little nerves! I was seriously impressed with Ellie's live vocal talent and had such an amazing evening watching her sing so intimately to us.

I'd definitely love to review another band at Maida Vale, so Radio 1 press if you're reading this then I'd be more than happy to come back ;)
