Noel's work
About Noel
Covering Letter
I am an English and History graduate (graduate year of :1). I am an extremely driven individual and passionate about my journalistic aspirations. I have extremely capable writing skills, editing skills and an in depth knowledge of marketing and management.
- Currently write recorded and live reviews of bands for Dead Press, Loud-Stuff, Mudkiss and Hevy Petal
- Have worked in a PR/Management company as an intern (In House Press, Manchester) to better understand the journalistic way of publicising, promoting and reviewing
- I currently play in a very successful punk-rock band, Beretta Suicide. Through this, I have used my skills and knowledge to have the band reviewed by Kerrang!, NME and Classic Rock (writing and organising press packs myself), booked the band onto tours with bands like Misfits, Zico Chain, W.A.S.P., The Glitterati, UK Subs, Anti-Nowhere League and played huge dates with the likes of Motorhead and Deaf Havana (occurred through my use of emailing and writing up band biographies)
- I have managed websites, blogs and music sites for my band. This included starting online campaigns, promotional ads and public relations events for the band to promote themselves
- I have completed a strenuous three years, completing a BA Honours English and History degree. The degree entailed extensive research and reading, covering many inter-disciplinary aspects and utilising my in depth writing skills to propose new ideas to the subjects studied
- My writing has been used by bands as part of their own press packs, while being complimented on the capability and adaptability of my writing
Websites I have created/featured on are:

I would like to thank you in advance for taking me into consideration and hope to hear from you soon.
Kind Regards
Noel Horton
