Hello! My name is Holly and I am the Editor of The Phoenix Remix. I am a Video Editor in the Television Industry. I write this website as a hobby in my spare time. Comedy and Music run through my veins and I love writing about them both, I adore interviewing acts and always on the lookout for something new!
I do this website completely voluntary and as a hobby and it can be thirsty work! In one year alone I write anything between 500-1000 articles. Every year for festival season I can interview up to 200-300 acts and that is not even including the interviews I do every week!
If you want to buy me a cup of tea (and a biscuit!) you are more then welcome to by going to the About page
