About Me

Dublin-based arts journalist who blogs over at The Sigla Blog . Music obsessive, lifelong Manchester United fan, consummate book lover, proud owner of Disco Fred (see pic), film fan, xylophone coveter, possesses an Imelda Marcos-style notebook fetish and is currently pondering the whole scary concept of writing a book.

I made my myspace layout using Pimp-My-Profile.com
