Since then, we have seen our readership grow and we are now firmly established as THE go to site for all the latest information in the world of music.
This site is not limited to any single type of music; it encompasses all genres; from pop to rock, folk to indie, soul to R’n’B and even a little bit of classical. We travel the length and breadth of the country to bring you the best reviews of your favourite artists.
Our interviews are read World Wide because the artists never cease to surprise us with some of the things they reveal and they are always entertaining.

As well as established artists, we like to be able to give those about to embark on their musical journey some much needed promotion. We then follow them to see how their career progresses.
So please continue to support our site and don’t forget, your comments are always welcome.
