RFB.COM – The Perfect Gig

When I first came to university (and to London) I started writing for rockfeedback.com – it was a window into the wider music industry, to have CDs posted to me, merely for the benefit of me having a public opinion on them. Writing about music was something that slipped away more and more, and not [...]

Bella Union on the London Eye

I’ve been wanting to be able to post this here for a long time, but it’s been taking FOREVER to get it through the edit suite at work… (this is one of those things you don’t complain about – it’s a luxury problem to have too much to do in our industry). Anyhow, only a [...]

Mumford and Sons

I’ve had the good fortune to spend some time with the rather wonderful Mumford and Sons recently. They released their debut album, Sigh No More, this Monday (it dropped in at number 4 in the mid-weeks, which is amazing), and are generally the folk quartet of the moment. The complete win-over was being wowed by [...]

Fanfarlo / First Aid Kit Duet

It was a gorgeous day (in between sporadic showers), and it was a perfect one-take, five minute shoot. Hope you enjoy! (courtesy of the day job, btw, with rockfeedback)

Emmy the Great Session

I recently had the very good fortune to follow the whole production process through with one of my favourite lyricists of the moment, Emmy the Great for a rockfeedback session – from production, through filming and interviewing, to the edit. Hope you enjoy!

SXSW

I’ve not really talked about what I’ve been up to since starting at Rockfeedback. I suppose that ever-present excuse of busy-ness of the business could apply, but especially when the business is fun, I think the real excuse is the goodtimes spent in the world non-digital. So it’s been two weeks since my first big [...]

Goodbye to Cartoons, Hello to Rockfeedback TV

The past 11 months I’ve been on a vertical learning curve at Turner Broadcasting, more specifically the kids’ channels (Cartoon Network, Boomerang et al.) It’s been a hell of a ride… and now I’m upping roots for a very cool new job at RockFeedback TV. My main job there will be to look after the [...]
