- Adam Hardy
Profile
My name is Adam Hardy and I'm a postman from Bournemouth. I've been into music for about six years now and have a massive music collection. I have about 650 CD albums and about 300+ 7'' vinyl's. I have been an avid gig and festival goer for about six years and must have seen about 200 hundred bands. Personal highlights were seeing The Specials at Brixton Academy last year, seeing Ray Davies at the Pavilion in Bournemouth in 2010 and Gallows headline the Lock Up stage at Reading festival in 2008.
My favourite genres are punk and folk although I enjoy almost all musical styles apart from dance and R&B. I have a massive passion for music and would like to be more involved that is why i would like to become a reviewer. Other interests of mine are reading, playing football, socialising, collecting vinyl and obviously music.
