I have always been passionate about the arts, and music in particular. I am fluent in Spanish and Portuguese, and lived for some time in Brazil and Cuba. My time as a New Media Producer for the BBC taught me much about arts PR and marketing. As a freelance arts publicist and consultant, I use these skills to nurture and promote the talented group of artists that I am proud to represent. Please visit www.magpiebrown.co.uk to find out more about the services I provide to musicians.

I have a show on Rhubarb Radio -a station broadcasting from Birmingham's famous Custard Factory. It's called Treasure Nest, and I like to think of it as a treetop shrine to audio joy. You can hear everything from Senegalese funk to Lithuanian indy, Brazilian hip hop to Cornish sea shanties. Treasure Nest goes out live on Sundays at 4pm on www.rhubarbradio.com, and the best part is you can listen again to any of the shows whenever you like!
