“If music be the food of love, play on”
I have been a music journalist for over a year now, and I thoroughly enjoy it.
Being able to hear so much new music from a wide variety of artists and bands is fantastic. It’s always great to see what releases are coming next.

As October is now officially underway, the dreary nights, continuous rain and biting cold creates a desire to return to the warmer months.
Here in the UK 2018 saw a rather unusually warm summer which had a great effect, particularly for music festivals being held. It makes a huge difference not to be swimming in mud when listening to live music.
