About me
Loud Northerner, singer, musician, and writer focusing on travel, food and wine. I host itinerant wine tastings with my own business Manchester Wine Tours, encouraging people to learn about wine in a fun, informal and non-stuffy way. I also teach for Manchester and Yorkshire Wine Schools and work as a private wine event host and sommelier. My full-time writing roles have included leading written content at Manchester's Finest and Manchester Confidential. I have also written freelance for VICE, Time Out and more.
