About me:
..
I'm Chris, simple as that.
This site, with any luck, will soon be filled with reviews of gigs, tracks, and albums and interviews with the bands responsible for them.
I'm studying BSc Creative Music and Sound Technology at Leeds Metropolitan University and hope to end up working in Radio production.
I also record interviews and write reviews for Leeds Student Radio.
Though now in Leeds I'm originaly from Wales but have also lived in Lancashire and on a remote island off the west coast of Scotland.
Who I'd like to meet: Bands who want to be interviewed, new bands and artists to review and anyone working in radio who wants to give me a shot!
