Chris Thorp
Chris hadn’t written a single review before joining The Fly Wessex, but since joining has found himself enjoying his new status as ‘music-journalist’ (it sounds more impressive than his chosen occupation in the exciting field of insurance). Being a lover of music since before he can remember, he has wanted to become part of the local scene and has achieved this firstly by playing guitar in the band ‘Arrowshy’, and secondly by joining The Fly Wessex team. He tries to keep as open-minded as possible when listening to music, whatever the genre, and aspires to having a more obscure record collection than anyone else. Some of his favourite artists include ‘The Mars Volta’, ‘Amon Tobin’ and ‘Fantomas’ but he's on a constant search for new and unique music that will change his life – and of course he’ll let you know when this happens!
