Clearing out all my old work history and stumbled across this old article I wrote when the awesome Mikey & Arya from Skindred came to visit Solent University.

Introducing Mike Brown Illustrations
OK. So it’s been a few months since I’ve posted but now is good a time as any because I get to introduce the talented illustrations of Mike Brown, all thanks to his spanking new website ( available here).
Mike has been writing, performing and generally living music, art and culture for years. Browners has been running and playing live music events for nearly a decade now. He also does the illustrations for them, hence why he now has a website. The latest event is held weekly and you can attend here in Southampton.
Incidentally, if you are ever looking for free live music in Southampton then please feel free to join the local community group on Facebook.
“Oh how I love the Theatre”
SO went to the Southampton’s Mayflower Theatre to review ‘SPAMALOT’ [the new musical ‘lovingly ripped off’ of Monty Python and the Holy Grail ] yesterday .I took my dad as my plus one.
We both enjoyed it and I realised how long it has been since I went to the Mayflower ( 1995, i think).
I enjoyed the production , mainly for its dedicated Pythonesque elements as opposed to the musical parts but all in all a fun tine with, involuntary, unsolicited laughter.
I am not a huge fan of musicals, having attended and failed a Theatre Studies A-Level at Tauntons College almost twenty years ago but this one had a decent balance , may even consider heading back to Mayflower if something similar comes up.
I think I mainly enjoyed gong to see a show with my dad , actually.
Anyways, here said review . .http://onthescenemag.co.uk/spamalot-pythonesque-spirit-throughout-whole-production
The review even got a Retweet from cast member Richard Meek.
