read this to understand my reviews

These reviews are just my opinion

I offer constructive criticism in the shape of what I would like to see and hear based on my preferences. 

It's not personal

It’s just my taste. Do you like every single piece of music you hear? No. Should that matter to the musicians behind that music? No. You don’t need to impress me for your benefit or mine. Do I get people telling me they don’t like my music? Yes, I do. And their opinion does not offend or hurt me. In matters of personal taste there can be no dispute.

Don't get upset

If you don’t like what I say don’t get upset. People not liking how you express yourself through your art form is not the end of the world. Disagreeing with the criticism they give is fine. Ignore and move on if you want to. 

Enjoy doing what you do.

If music is your passion then keep doing what you want to do and how you want to do it. You are never going to please every single listener.   

Honesty

If everyone blows smoke up your arse then how do you know who actually means it? If you ask for my opinon I am going to be honest in my assessment. I don't like Oasis. Do they care? No. Should they care? No. Same applies to you if your music isn't to my taste.

Support

I support live music and love to see people playing, singing or writing songs.
