I’m sure she was lead guitarist, pianist AND the lead singer.
Get your tip jar out for the lads.I had a look at this particular article the last time Hattie came up. Aside from the questionable content, it's also just really badly written. That's not even me beingmeansubjective: she uses run-on sentences, she makes mistakes like "most favourite", her vocabulary is repetitive ("made with soothing...oils" twice in one sentence!) and hell, she even has the first person I in lower case sometimes. She can't even be bothered to proofread her work, but she's on Twitter begging for free holidays? Hilarious.

PS all this yoga talk and I'm sitting here with my leg in a cast.How can I monetise this?!
Good god no, she was in a band?! Surely they didn’t let her loose with the instruments…but then that would leave her singing and that’s worse.
Nope. Got to be bullshit. I hope.
She can't have sung in bands for years, because she stopped singingAnd it is never ever EVER her fault. It’s always someone or something else. We should have a “Blame List”. It would be as long as the “To Do” list. We all know the famous examples (a vigil, a cut foot, a partner hogging the broadband etc).
I was reminded yesterday as to how she does this as I stumbled across the Guardian article/video about her busking and doing Tracy Chapmen & Bob Dylan a disservice. There was a Twitter thread about people embarrassing themselves thinking their favourite bands were being ‘covered’ by the original artists and it lead me there. Of COURSE she had a sore throat and lost her voice, the day before she had her only high profile singing gig, ever. I am cringing at the thought. It would have been fine to say “Mate, I am absolutely shitting myself - you are Billy Bragg and we are outside a very busy tube station”. But no, it’s all “sore throat - lost voice”.
By the way - “singing in bands for years”? - that is a new one on me...has anyone got any more info on that? I am thinking a bit of drunken karaoke but would love to be proved wrong on that account (with pics/videos). Far more entertaining blast from the past than grot shots in her pants.
It's what she thinks 'performing' is, isn't it? It's so cringey. It's like when people say acting is just playing pretend for a living. Nah, bit more complicated than that, for a start it has to be believable, engage the audience, be rehearsed, work with and not against the other people on set... All the things Mackie hates doing.Oh, the YouTube clip of her singing Landslide..I cringed my self inside out and back again. Not just her singing but the faux coyness. Gotta stop typing now lest I cringe again.

Unfortunately not. I did get a bit overenthusiastic and almost got it over the counter but our floor is cleanDid you pour the syrup from up high and get it all over the floor?
I wonder if anyone will offer their experiences? Be interesting to see!Well well well….
If you were an ‘addict’ I’d say it was karmaShe can't have sung in bands for years, because she stopped singing
a) TRIGGER WARNING as a reaction to childhood abuse
b) because she was too poor
...and she never sang again until Landslide & Stand By Me!
PS @LennyBriscoe I sprained my ankle badly, and the doctor has given me a cast. I have two good friends who are physios who are freaking out about what bad practice this is, but I have to go along with it, I suppose! Maybe it's karma for being an internet bully?
mostly off though I presume?Busking with Billy Bragg – Jack Monroe's Do Something challenge
When the opportunity came along to busk with one of her musical and political heroes, Jack Monroe couldn't turn it down• Watch Billy and Jack busking in Camden• Billy Bragg's tips on buskingwww.theguardian.com
For the uninitiated.
First sentence “sung in bands, on and off, for years” (perhaps needs adding to the job list)
Second sentence - The Poverty.
She does make it to the third paragraph before The Excuse so not bad doing, I suppose.
Re: undeclared ads and this probably verges on off topic sorry (although on topic we should continue reporting Jack’s undeclared aff links), the shit ASA have just started a shitlist of repeat offenders, it seems that they get a first warning and if they don’t repent they end up on the list. At the mo there’s only four people on it & Lucy Meck is the only one I remember but isn’t it interesting that the advertising standards agency have the same beef we have yet they’re not bored housewives or trolls?Well well well….
Yes, it will. People more likely to offer their experiences I think as they can offer them anonymously. (!), I wonder whether the journalist will mention any of these gossip sites in her article. The Sali Hughes podcast that I listened to was careful not to. - not giving any oxygen, attention to trolls, etc.I wonder if anyone will offer their experiences? Be interesting to see!

I've come across this poem on the H&M thread. I thinks it's a wonderful piece of poetry, but why is half of it Jack-related?
Singing in bands for years = ,church choirGood god no, she was in a band?! Surely they didn’t let her loose with the instruments…but then that would leave her singing and that’s worse.
Nope. Got to be bullshit. I hope.

Actually, they look delicious so in no way resemble any of JM’s abominations. Bon appetit!
