about

I’m Tim. I write the majority of this blog, but there are other occasional contributors. So far we’ve had Christopher Dodds, Emma Salter, Helen Parton, Jamie Day, Kris de Souza, Kris Maher, Lewis Booth, Luke Carlisle, Mark Lewis, Richard Coatsworth, Ron Walker, Saul Sherry and, of course, Joshua River Brown. Some of them are proper journalists even.

As for myself, I have no history of writing as you’ll probably be able to tell if you’ve just read something. What I do have though is a love of music and a love of telling people what I like. Whether they want to hear it or not. You can find me writing for a couple of other places as well. Namely The 405 and Freedom Spark. I also make an awesome chilli (recipe).

Before you start reading the thrilling history, you can also follow me on Twitter if you like. @sockformation
