As well as editing festival and gig guides, I've written features, interviews and reviews for a wide range of music publications over the last six years including Playmusic, Bearded, Kruger, Buzz and Sound Nation magazines. I currrently interview film composers for Empire. Here's some of what's online - or rather, some of what's online and hasn't been deleted in site revamps.

- Aloud Festival Guide and Gig Guide-

2006-2007 I was the editor of Emap's Aloud Festivals and Aloud Gig Guide. Aloud Festivals came runner-up in the Best Commercial Partnership category at the AOP Awards.

The site's long gone, but the article archive is HERE

I commissioned freelance writers to cover festivals and gigs, while organising interviews, writing news stories, and blogging by phone and computer in order to cover a summer of festivals.
