About Me

*** PLEASE NOTE THAT I RARELY CHECK MY MYSPACE ANYMORE! IF YOU'RE DESPERATE TO GET HOLD OF ME, (yes, some people are desperate to get hold of me), THEN FACEBOOK IS BETTER OR CONTACT ME AT IMPRESSIVE PR ***

Greetings and salutations. I am Amy. I work at Impressive PR for some yummy bands and some bands constructed entirely of pants. I also write for Gigwise, Glasswerk and NME sometimes.

If you recognise me and don't know why, then I've also done spells at Hall or Nothing, Darling Department, Borkowski PR and Get Involved, and have done press for lots of festivals (cos it's fun). I did Xpression fm at Exeter uni as well if you're a uni bod. Read on...
