Yes, you can now read lots of my work at Born Music Online. Being in Canada, my current focus is on album/single reviews and occasional articles, but when I am back in Birmingham I also intend to do reviews of live shows too. Please support Born Music by liking our Facebook page, we need to get the word out as we’re a new group!

Born Music aims to focus on the Midlands music scene, but also give attention to nationally-known, established acts as well. You can find a list of all articles by me, here, if that takes your fancy.

Local bands, feel free to submit your work to me (contact me here, on Facebook, or on Twitter, links on the left of this page), if you want reviewing.
