the only first post in this blog

As this is my first blog post I thought I'd share why the hell I'm doing this and why you should keep reading in future.

 

First of all the name - the only indie boy in old york. I moved to York, England back in 2011 and felt a lack of music in my life following an exciting 10 years being immersed in the live music scene in Newcastle Upon Tyne. So for a while I did feel as though I was indeed the only indie boy in old york.

 

For those of you living in Newcastle in the noughties you may have read the excellent Get Rhythm magazine where I was lucky to write about fantastic artists such as John Egdell and Paul Jeans.

4 years on and I'm lucky enough to be in a position to discover there is more to York than meets the eye when it comes to music.

 

I'm also fortunate enough to have a guest spot on Rick Witter's Sunday evening show, Disco Down on @minsterfm. You can hear my northern tones reviewing the latest releases on the first Sunday of every month between 7-9pm.

 

If you've missed me so far this year, I'll share my music picks in the next few blog posts to bring you back to the future.

 

And then I hope you'll stick around.
