Bio:
Raised on a diet of Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen, my appreciation of quality music started early. I'm always on the hunt for something new, with Japandroids and Mark Lanegan my big finds of 2012. I'm a Southerner originally but have been in Manchester for 6 years and taken the City to my heart! I love watching live music in town with my favourite venues being the Apollo for those larger gigs and the Deaf Institute for more intimate shows.

Bio:
I'm am rather obsessed with the Beatles and have been all my life, however, I do love all kinds of music across the board and my record collection is extremely eclectic. I'm happiest rummaging through the vinyls in a dusty old record shop. I also regularly do live music photography and my personal highlight was getting a photopass to shoot one of my heroes (Paul McCartney) at the MEN Arena.
