My reviews and articles that are published can be found in my myspace blog! It would be great if you'd pay a visit and leave me a comment!

About me:
I am a freelance writer with a passionate interest in traditional, folk, country and roots-based music. I write for The Living Tradition magazine, Folking.com (for which I am Reviews Editor) and Green Man Review (for which I am live reviews editor).

My reviews and articles that are published can be found in my myspace blog! It would be great if you'd pay a visit and leave me a comment!

The stunning photograph that forms the background for my page is by my wonderful friend, the fork-bendingly talented Lieve Boussauw. Lieve is as talented an artist as any of the musicians you will find on my page, and her work is a huge inspiration -- visit Lieve's blog and prepare to be in absolute awe of what you will find there!

Who I'd like to meet:

People with a passion for music.... folk, roots, country, singer-songwriter... but I keep a fairly open mind where music's concerned! I'm keen to meet people who play music, write songs or those involved in any other aspects of the music industry.

Phil	Jul 7 2008 2:57 AM At work, but shhh, it's very quiet....
Donna-Marie	Jul 6 2008 2:31 PM Mwah thanks hun...hehe it made me smile xxx
Debbie Koritsas	Jul 6 2008 2:19 PM I do like your photo of the coral! I await your crazy idea with bated breath. Just doing a final edit of my MS article. It's something I feel quite proud of.
Debbie Koritsas	Jul 6 2008 2:14 PM I can't cope with that statement - s'not fair!!! :***( Have a great week. Sounds like you're inspired with lots of ideas yourself. I was inspired by talking to a self-employed photographer yesterday. Your photos of Yorkshire are lovely - I especially love the photos at the Ryedale Folk Museum. Did you get your fish and chips in Whitby after all? :o) xxx p.s. bet Holly wanted a chip!!
Debbie Koritsas	Jul 6 2008 12:14 PM We were going to go out to eat, but I find it easier to cook to be honest! Just had dinner, catching up with the blether and showing Stephen my new lenses!! :o) xx
Katarina J.	Jul 6 2008 11:53 AM welcome hem m'lad! so how was your holiday then? just read that you're teething (a bit late but everyone has to go through it at some point LOL) and that there have been some questions raised about you being smart. gawd, that's all quite tough for a quiet sunday eve, don't you think?gotta go before the thunder gets my comp. xxx
Phil	Jul 6 2008 11:52 AM Just started listening to 'Dreams Fly Away'. Why have I neglected it for so long?
Phil	Jul 6 2008 9:57 AM She probably means 'are you well', I guess. What do you have planned for next week?
Phil	Jul 6 2008 9:44 AM Good question there, are you smart?
Debbie Koritsas	Jul 6 2008 9:17 AM LOL I just woke up at 5!!!!! Fell fast asleep earlier. I got lots of great photos yesterday. LOVE that photo of Richard looking straight at me. He's fantastic to photograph and his face is handsome!! Haven't even looked at most of them yet. Seeing Stephen soon, can't wait. Going to cook something nice for dinner. xxx
Danica Krstic	Jul 6 2008 8:50 AM Are You smart?
Phil	Jul 6 2008 7:24 AM Did you watch the race? What a cracker!
Iona	Jul 6 2008 7:00 AM hey there Mikey! Hope you had a fabby time in Yorkshire :) What a lovely part of the world it is. Things are okay here. Pretty tired and I'm still nursing an injury from last weekend's hen-do. Can't sleep on my right side yet :( Other than that, the new cds have arrived... soooo many boxes! Not sure when we release yet, as things keep being further complicated every day. Anyhoos - better go to the shops and gather in some foodstuffs before the tennis is over! x
Debbie Koritsas	Jul 6 2008 6:28 AM Hi Mike! Just got in from shopping and doing some festival PR in POURING rain. I'm only just thawing out! Had a really good time at Garforth, it was a long, tiring day which culminated in being blown away by Richard Hawley's gig - I just loved it. The range of guitars was as impressive as Richard's wonderful voice, and drumkit and keyboard made for brilliant listening - I've always loved his 'anthemic' sounding songs best... :)) My kids were gutted when I told them Flava (a very trendy hip-hop R&B dance band!) were there. They couldn't believe it!! Love Debs xxx
Phil	Jul 6 2008 3:12 AM Oh! I hadn't heard that (just shows how much I watch the news!) I don't have an opinion either way. I've been enjoying the Linda Thompson CD the last couple of days, it took a couple of plays to register, but that's not always a bad thing.
Phil	Jul 6 2008 3:03 AM Good morning Mike, I'm in slo mo this morning, I have a sickly headache for some reason. Just finished breakfast (part1), I'm thinking about getting dressed and breakfast (part2). It's very wet here, but the British Grand Prix should keep me entertained.
Fiona Cuthill	Jul 5 2008 1:46 PM Cool! I won't be staying up really late tonight cos I have a Christening tomorrow, but will have time for a chat I am sure. Have suddenly got hay fever inside about half an hour ago. Odd!!!
Phil	Jul 5 2008 1:45 PM I picked her up at the Chievely Services (M4/A34). She'd been to Worcester! We stopped at Sainsbury's near Winchester on our way home, I'm not sure whether they do vintage perry or not. In any case, I forgot to look.
Fiona Cuthill	Jul 5 2008 1:40 PM Just gonna go and finish the last of the bottle now. I've not drunk a whole bottle to myself tho - my pal helped me with it last night too. We went out on the lash in the West End and had a right good laugh. What are you drinking?
Phil	Jul 5 2008 12:52 PM Just got in from an 86 mile round trip to pick Maureen up! We stopped at Sainsbury's on the way home.
