We’re in Delaney…

I’ve just reviewed Delaney Davidson’s new album ‘Swim Down Low’ for online music-mag Louder Than War.

Cofi Radio – The Duke’s Head Sessions

Listeners to the unsigned music podcast Cofi Radio might have noticed mentions of their Duke’s Head Sessions over the last two months. Well, I have some exciting news about them.

Cofi Radio

For over a year now I’ve been running Cofi Radio. It’s a weekly podcast (or internet radio show, as I like to think of it) showcasing new and unsigned bands from around London. We’ve got music from all genres and it’s all really good (even if I do say so myself).

When I say I run it, I mean I find the acts, I book them, I get recordings, I present the show, I master the show and I manage the website. So, all in all, it’s sort of my project.

Why not click below if you want to hear what I sound like presenting.

Laissez Faire

Laissez Faire is a magazine that has surprisingly little to do with rampant free marketeering. Available online and as a free publication around London (at tube stations, cafes, bars and places of cultural relevance) Laissez Faire is an arts magazine with a fondness for high fashion and up-and-coming fine artists.

Here’s an issue:

Since joining Laissez Faire I’ve been lucky enough to interview some of the biggest names in British comedy, review gigs and albums, critique high fashion and exercise my journalistic muscles on everything from painting to musicals. Unsurprisingly, as well as turning my hand to different styles of writing, I’ve also got rather good at pitching articles.

After a few months of writing music reviews, I was given a regular column to review unsigned bands and promote my online radio station; Cofi Radio.

I had a bumper crop with the issue above. You can find my work on pages 10-11, 20-25, 34-35 and 38-41.
