NOW HERE IS SOME MORE BORING STUFF ABOUT ME

I am a Student Journalist current studying The BTEC National Diploma in Media Production which includes journalism, photography, radio and film studies.

�I am delighted to have been offered a place at Goldsmiths University of London starting in September 2008 where I will be studying BA Hons in Media and Communications�.

At the moment I contribute to my college magazine called "Scoop" which is distributed free of charge to the Students and covers all 6 campuses at the Central Sussex College. I also do interviews and photography for Europunk, which is an online music website that is based in Belgium but covers the World Wide Web and apart from that I also contribute to the Brighton and Sussex Universities Student Network website where I am a member of their Editorial Team and I write monthly blogs about my experiences and do Interviews for them and finally I am pleased to say that I am also contributing to another online magazine called Creature Mag. Please check it out on http://www.creaturemag.com/blog/?p=27

Recently, I started posting articles for THE TELEGRAPH which can be viewed at:

And I have also been posting articles for MTV on:

Me with Dave Grohl from The Foofighters

To enhance my career as a young Music Journalist, I try to get involved as much as can with the media so I arrange my own interviews with bands and write articles on Record Labels as well as Reviews on Albums, Bands, Venues, Mainstream Music, Gigs, books and Movies and I do all this work on a voluntary basis free of charge.

I am a member of the NUJ (National Union of Journalists) and have a NUJ Press Pass.

Me with Chris Daughtry from the band Daughtry

and the American TV show American Idol

In the past I was given Press Access for many events including The Indy Music Awards, Chelsea Player of the Year Awards (where I was lucky enough to meet the players and mix with some press professsionals). I also had press accreditation and backstage access for the entire duration of the Glastonbury Festival 2007 (where I attended a press conference with the owners of the farm which hosts the festival, Michael and Emily Eavis, and I felt honoured to meet and take pictures of them).

To explore other areas of Journalism I was also given press accreditation for the Travel Destinations Show at the Earls Court early last year where I met the Travel Editor of The Sunday Times.

At the moment I do work experience for the Sussex and Brighton Universities where I contribute to the Student Network website which is aimed at Vocational Students already studying in Sussex and people considering taking a vocational course. I am part of the Editorial Team and was 1 of 8 Media Students chosen from Colleges in Sussex to take part on this project. You can find out more and read all the interesting articles by visiting the website: www.studentnetworksussex.co.uk

I have written an article about the Glastonbury Festival and my experiences there, which has been published in the Sussex Student Network and I have also created a �montage� with the pictures that I took from the live Acts which can be viewed on my Youtube page under my username AidenQueen at http://uk.youtube.com/user/AidenQueen

Apart from that I have opened a special �Glastonbury� page on this website where I have put pictures, videos and links. Please check it out on: GLASTONBURY

In addition to that, I take photos for Europunk and my Myspace photography page and you can see them on the following websites: www.myspace.com/alexgigphotography and www.europunk.net/members.php?id=3106

(my member profile at Europunk is Devoted To Music).

I am pleased to say that currently I am also contributing to another online magazine called Creature Magazine so please check it out on: http://www.creaturemag.com/blog/?p=27

Apart from contributing to online magazines I also broadcast all my audio interviews on youtube by creating video clips and adding the photos that I take of the bands from live shows, so whilst listening to interview you can also watch a slideshow of photos taken by me. Please check out my yourtube page on http://uk.youtube.com/user/AidenQueen or just click on the INTERVIEWS on the side of this page.

I enjoy travelling and learning about other people�s culture. I can speak some Spanish and hope to translate all my interviews into Spanish and create another website in Spanish so I can broadcast myself and get understood by people from other countries.

I am proud to say that I am very familiar with many venues where I have been given backstage and press access. Some of these venues are the Carlling Brixton Accademy, London Barfly, London Astoria, Earls Court, Leeds Harewood House, Brighton Concorde, Brighton Dome, Brighton Centre, London Bull and Gate Pub, London Meanfidller, the 02, Harlequin Theatre in Redhill and many more.
