Hello,

Starting off another year... is looking to expand it's Contributors across United Kingdom. (Scotland, England, Wales)

We're looking for anyone who has passion for Concerts, Chatting to people (to cover Interviews) Writing (to write Live Concert Reviews and Album/Single Releases, Photography (Photograph Concerts, Bandshoots ect) or Videography (Possibly filming interviews or Gigs where we can get access)

We currently have enough photographers in Scotland but if you can review + photograph then would be more desirable. We ideally looking to start covering more shows across England and Wales.

Please also take into consideration we cannot always guarantee access to Gigs, as bigger publications will always be given priority to review tickets and photo passes before online publications and we can't always guarantee plus ones either for reviewers.

Also note this is voluntary positions as we don't make money for it ourselves and just simply trying help people build their careers, save buying concert tickets and help people take mind off other aspects of their lives ect where need a distraction

If you're interested please drop us a line below:
