At the PC - working on Metalliville !!

 

I have studied the Media Industry for around 6 years and am at 2:2 Honours Degree status. I have loved Rock music since the age of 3 (honest!!!) - my first recollection being my dad buying Status Quo's 'Rocking all over the World' album and Queen's 'News of the World' album way back in '77 - I heard them and I've been hooked ever since.

I love writing about artists (hence this rock/metal webzine), audio collecting, going to rock clubs and gigs (and meeting great bands). In fact I have actually met Slash's Snakepit (a great bunch of lads), Deep Purple, The Black Crowes, Alan Davey and Danny Thompson (Hawkwind), Eric Singer (drummer of Kiss/Alice Cooper).

I want to get Rock and Metal back on the musical map where it belongs and am only too happy to help out artists.

Another aim in my life is to get into the music biz (in a full-time professional basis) one way or another (be it promotion, journalism, research - drop me an e-mail and I'll send you my CV.

Keep Rockin' -

MAD FACTZ ABOUT DAVE

Moved up from Kent when aged 7, still has no Yorkshire accent despite living in Steel City for over two decades.

IF I WERE SOMEBODY ELSE I’D BE
I’ll come back to you on that one.

WORDZ FROM DAVE (Writing Nov 2007)
Here at the end of’07 after over six years since we evolved from the sad little stapled A4 rag circulating the odd shop and pub in the Sheffield suburbs we are still going strong. and as I write, approaching the 50k mark!!

While Glenn and I carry on bringing you the best in metal and rock, both on CD and on stage, we have further current contributors on board, including Al Hoath and Roy Evans but to name a couple.

However, it is our privilege to announce that they will be joined by a face from the past, as original member Tony Watson has decided to become part of the Metalliville squad again after a five year absence.

We are also proud to present a couple of new features on our sacred pages.
SHOP n’ ROLL, our new list of the most recommended retail outlets in Sheffield, Bradford, Huddersfield and Leeds for picking up rock and metal discs and associated clobber, is unveiled on the site, late November ’07.

NEW n’ NOIZY is the name of a column charting the best of the new bunch of hard rockin’ young men (and women) making ripples round the isle, and will appear on the Metalliville board in early 08.

All the more reason to visit Metalliville - remember it’s your support over the years gone past that has kept us fully afloat. Take care and pass the good name of our site about as widely as possible. Til then, love rock n’ roll, because we certainly do.

'Are there actually any ferries at this place? - I've been waiting ten hours!'
