Suburban dreamer, ageing indiepop kid, proud Gooner. Would listen to music 24/7 if he could get away with it/if he didn't have to work for a living. Spends his evenings/weekends listening to music, watching films/copious amounts of television, reading and traversing the country in pursuit of decent live music.

Full-time university administrator/part-time gig promoter with borderline obsessive compulsive tendencies (see: need to tag everything correctly/alphabetise extensive CD collection). Regular reader of Uncut, Under The Radar, Q and The Guardian. Favours novels by Murakami and Orwell, milkshakes, coffee and chinese food. Lives in Leicester, UK with his lovely wife Kate and Marr the cat.
