About Phoebe Messenger
Role: Reviewer

Outside of my day job, I’m a regular gig-goer and have always enjoyed writing articles to fuel the passion even further, whether that be through reviews for live shows or for full albums.

Available for: Gig reviews, album/single reviews and artist interviews.

First attended gig: The first show I bought a ticket to myself was 30 Seconds To Mars supported by Enter Shikari at the Brighton Centre.

First gig reviewed: The first gig I reviewed was a showcase of underground DIY rock acts dubbed ‘Deprestlemania’ at The Victoria in Dalston.

Dream gig: Alice in Chains (Layne era) or Pearl Jam in the 90s
