While, for me, 2010 was mostly a year of frantically saving money and struggling to keep our heads above water, 2011 was a year of serious growth (both business and personal) and some of the most amazing fun I’ve ever had.

I hang out in metal pubs (I live near Bristol, [...]

I met a lot of Germans in 2009 who didn’t remove theirs at ALL, and had wrist full of wristbands from various festivals. I have proudly worn my Wacken wristband through [...]
