Hia, I’m typing from inside Platform 1 at Edge Hill train station, trying not to overdo it with the coffee. Metal and I go way back: I’ve performed a Work in Progress, taken part in an online residency, and patched in for stretches of freelance technical work. Before that I undertook a degree in music, played in bands and toiled between touring Europe vs jobs in kitchens, bars and retail. From 2010 I began work in a handful of Liverpool venues, which led to events programming and starting an ‘egalitarian clubnight’. This fed into radio, broadcasting and livestreaming, which I fused together to form a playful emergent practice designed for online collaboration. All of the above helped me along the way to being welcomed into the truly wonderful fit that is Metal Liverpool fulltime from September 2023. Mr Zhang’s Kitchen is the best place to eat in town; an author that changed the way I think is Ursula LeGuin; you can catch me actively listening on slightly overpriced headphones.
