Welcome to Amplifier Wordsmith, a blog that has been created by a professional (thanks Joanna!) and will be maintained, with immediate effect, by a TOTAL AMATEUR.

Me.

But we’ve got to start somewhere, right?

So let’s keep this intro short and set out what this blog is meant to be about: music. Rock music (mostly). Why? Because there’s tonnes of stuff out there and we can help each other to find it. That’s what music fans do, isn’t it? Share discoveries (and maybe obsess about them a bit too much).

Right then – time to finish and get started, Oxford gig reviews of Naam and Karma to Burn to appear very very soon.
