Charlotte Bennett
Charlotte grew up in a house where the record player was never off, and turned a teenage habit of scribbling gig reviews into a career spent writing about the music she loves. Based in London, she still spends her weekends digging through the crates in the city's second-hand shops and catching new bands in small rooms before anyone else has heard of them. She writes about guitars, records and the stories behind the songs.
