Articles by Greg Harradine
Greg is an outdoorsy type who also happens to like music. He completed his Masters in Composing for Film and TV last year, and currently does many things for a living including writing music for plays, playing guitar in an acoustic duo and sometimes moving antiques across London in a van. Enjoys writing about music almost as much as playing it. Reviewing for NEN keeps him busy and away from his piano long enough to give his housemates some respite. Loves Sufjan Stevens, Joanna Newsom, Jim Moray, forests, lakes, books and Ray Mears a little bit too much. Hates how much we need to use computers in this day and age but paradoxically loves the wonder that is the internet. At best, ambivalent towards our increasingly digital world, at worst a total luddite. Things we should all do more of: read, walk, laugh, get out of the city, SEE LIVE MUSIC. And of course visit the best corner of the web - Never Enough Notes! You can also find Greg rambling on Twitter: @GregHarradine.
