SAMPLES
Here are a few samples of my work:
"Either writing or having a press pack written for your band is always a nightmare; in the end you usually end up with something almost tolerable that you still cringe at. Keith offered to help us out as we've never been happy with ours and in no time we had a brilliant, professional looking, well written and concise press pack that we're proud to send out with our CDs." - Matthew Bakewell, A Fight You Can't Win

Press release
Rock band A Fight You Can't Win were looking for a press release which summed up their hard-hitting sound and highlighted the fact they had a new band member. The end result was used as part of their press pack and for other publicity material...."Northern Irish Paul & Matthew met Dutch drummer Sander through a musician's website, then started on their mission to create catchy, heavy tunes which - at less than three minutes long - don't outstay their welcome. In summer of 2010, flame-haired guitarist Lesley joined the ranks, rounding out A Fight You Can't Win's sound with her impressive guitar skills.
The band gig hard, taking the arsenal of songs from their hard-hitting debut album on the road whenever they can. Impressing both audiences and critics alike with their no-holds-barred aural assault, they are now set to make another push for the front in their battle against musical mediocrity."

Advertising copy
Edinburgh Underground is a new online music site devoted to the alternative music scene in the capital. They were looking for a punchy slogan - something they could use to sum up the ethos and attitude of the site and the 'non scene' music it promotes."Great music should be heard and not scene"
