It’s My Birthday !!!!

Posted by Mark in Mixtapes | 3 comments

So I am another year older today…. Ha last year I remember well, Keath putting together a great little podcast for me when we both wrote for Rock Sellout. This year I thought maybe I should reflect and give you all a little mixtape!!!! So I have spent a good part of this evening trawling my mp3′s. These are all artists I have had the pleasure to write about. Most of them bring back fond gig memories or interviews.

Ok so it’s a little self-indulgent but just thought I would include one or two pics so you can understand some of my choices!!!!
