About Me & Munkio.com
This page is very out of date - I really want to update it as soon as I can - so here are just a few things that I do at present.
Music Journalism
www.jazzwise.com - The UK's Leading Jazz Publication
Jazzwise Magazine
is the UK’s leading jazz publication that has established itself
as the market leader through its fresh and broadminded coverage of
the UK and international jazz scene. With in-depth articles and interviews
written by a vibrant team of award winning journalists, some of whom
are themselves musicians, this is the perfect magazine to reflect the
diversity and innovation that continues to make jazz the vibrant and
exciting music it is today. I have been a regular contributor to Jazzwise
as both the Gig Guide Editor, compiling approximately 300 gigs each
month, plus writing the regular DVD review column and other reviews
and artist interviews.
Bass
Guitar Magazine - The UK's only dedicated
Bass Magazine
iI have been
a contributor for the UK's only dedicated bass guitar magazine
for around a year now - interviewing some of the bass world's
biggest names including Matthew Garrison, Carles Benevent,
Kai Eckhardt and John Patitucci as well as writing an in-depth
report from this year's Frankfurt Musik Messe in Germany.
Website
Management & Content Production
www.ijazz.org - Universal Classics and Jazz Website
Arguably the only dedicated jazz portal in the UK, iJazz.org remains
a distinctly different site to most of the UK’s jazz websites.
A diverse mix of news, features and interactive new media sections, featuring
streamed interviews and gigs by some of the world’s best jazz artists,
both old and new, iJazz.org is a unique magazine style website. I have
managed the website for two years now and has been populated solely by
content I have produced, reflecting both my skills as a writer, editor,
video producer and graphic designer, I also regularly design and send
HTML emails to the 20,000 strong database.
