hi Everyone! Welcome to my new music blog. Pretty much the same as the old blog - 'The Mancunian', except, for various technical reasons, I have had to start here, and it seemed like a good opportunity for a good start.
I am a music journalist, based in Manchester, and I have been writing about music on and off for about 15 years. My very first concert as a music hack was back in 1995, as one of the small, pokey rooms in the corner of Manchester University Students' Union, when I went to review Gang Of Four for the university newspaper.
Since then, I've worked at Carlton.com (which later became ITV.com), as an editor, and contributed to Flux Magazine, DEO.com (defunked online specialist dance publication), Flipside (a long gone mag not unlike Uncut, Word or Q), DXN and Bamboo (Both multicultural ethnic culture magazines) and of course, Manchester's wonderful City Life, where I spent a couple of years as a sub and contributor, variously.
In recent times, I have returned to the fold, writing for prolifically for God Is In The TV and for Skiddle.com, as well as contributing to Guardian.co.uk, Clash Magazine, The Line Of Best Fit, and Manchester Chimp. I'm on a mission to get re-established as a regular freelancer, and need all the the help I can get.
As part of my writing, I'll be posting music new and old, which I come across, and enjoy, as well as news, reviews, features and opinions, when I have the time and inclination. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!
