Romy xx was a total joy to speak to for the Guardian Festival Guide.
Softly spoken, considered, clever, shy and nice. Just how all humans should be.
She told me about her first festival experience, roughing it in wellies and how she feels “more comfortable surrounded by lights and the smoke.”
Not every fest can afford big-name lineups – many are turning to a new wave of credible copycat acts…
First of two bits for the Guardian’s Festival Guide! Click the entire passage below to read!
1) Zooey Deschanel has written a song entitled London for the new She & Him album.
2) Time Out asked me to speak to her about her favourite city hot spots. Vintage! Organic! Secret whiskey bars!
It was very early where I was and very late where she was. At first she couldn’t think of anywhere other than “just walking around the streets, on my own”. Eventually we squeezed some specifics out (at one point we talked about going to M&S to buy sandwhiches) but it was a struggle for both parties and she and I both probably cried simulataneously after putting the phone down.

Aritzia, the online clothing retailer which contains a gorgeous looking culture magazine, has just launched issue number thirteen.
It’s a music special so I was lucky enough (get it? issue thirteen? number links back to popular bad luck myth) to interview Chlöe Howl about licking kittens and Arlissa about her crap ex boyfriend.
The one and only Demi Lovato is on the cover of this month’s Company.
I interviewed her while she was getting her nails done which was weird because she’d occasionally stop mid-poignant statement to make a comment about the shade of blue on her index finger. Her manager was also sat approx 30cms away from me.
Still though, she was fantastic and funny and got rightfully peeved when I suggested she might be going out with a certain member of constantly-jumping-up-and-down-really-fast-and-smiling-boyband OneDirection…
