I first started reviewing cultural events while in a Master of Writing Creation in Barcelona, where I was lucky to be exposed to performances in the Teatre Lliure, the Auditori, and, most frequently, the Palau de la Música. That experience has been central into learning how to craft reviews that, without being too technical, showcase the talent of the artists and the emotions evoked by their performances.
Before doing reviews, I was focused on poetry recitals, archivism, and before that, I published little news commentary articles. Now I work as an editor, where I annotate, translate, research, and sometimes write essays about my area of expertise, the laughable. In one way or another, I've been involved with the literary world since 2005!
I'd like to thank all those readers that have made this side project grow so much. I'd like to thank, too, all the artists that have been gracious enough to indulge me in my questions.
Southport has a vibrant cultural community. Musicians are often blown-away by the seemingly disproportionate turnout of this deceptively small town has. I'm glad these little articles serve to capture and archive the performances inspired by our local audience, and I hope that this site will the helpful to those that are either attempting to remember what they have lived, and to those attempting to grasp a bit of what they have missed.
