I’m Alan Parry, a writer and educator from Merseyside, UK, and I have an eclectic taste in both old and new music. As a writer, I have written numerous pieces about different art forms, including music reviews of live and recorded music discussing several different genres and artists. I am also the Editor in Chief at The Broken Spine and we cover some of the biggest names in the music industry. My passion for music doesn’t stop here.
