About

Hi how are you?

I work as an online journalist for a national newspaper in Scotland.

I, like most people, am a music fan, although I probably take it too seriously, and I spend an unhealthy amount of time writing words about it. My other main diversions are similarly predictable: football, films, travel. I support Raith Rovers, a small Fife club who are around 15 years past their prime, but live in eternal hope of a renaissance.

This blog is personal and is therefore neither daily, reliable or a reflection of my employer’s view.  And there’s no overarching theme – it’s just what I feel like writing about when I feel like writing it.

I was named Multimedia Journalist of the Year at the 2010 Scottish Press Awards. I couldn’t think of any way of writing this without seeming like an egotist so I just wrote it.
