I've know Iain for over 20 years now, since we were at school together. He is one of the most reliable, honest and trustworthy people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. A true friend-for-life :-)

      The website I began as a hobby began to take off over the last couple of years to the point where it was using up a lot of my spare time. As well as myself, upwards of 40 other people currently (Nov 2016) contribute and I made the decision to incorporate it into a business with a view to making it self-sustainable in the short term and profitable further down the line.

      Following my love all all things rock and metal, I set up what was initially a blog about bands I'd seen and interviewed while at university. It has grown to be a popular site in its own right with news, interviews and reviews and a number of staff well into double figures. Managing the site allows me to flex my creative writing muscles as well as play with technology... and get into concerts for free!
