One rule: if it isn't titanium, it isn't here. Not titanium-coloured. Not titanium-accented. The actual grey stuff that eats end mills and makes machinists sigh. It's an arbitrary rule and it works beautifully, because titanium is a nuisance to cut and the only people who bother are the ones who care — so the rule does the curating for you. Five things you carry: knife, watch, wallet, pen, and one small useful object. Fifteen items, fifteen makers, nobody twice. Read down a column and watch the metal go from sensible material choice to entire personality.

Three metals that refuse to stay new. Brass, copper and bronze don't get scratched so much as keep a diary — six months in a pocket and yours looks like nobody else's, which is either the entire appeal or deeply irritating, depending on the person. Five things you carry, thirteen items, thirteen makers, and a few honest gaps left open rather than filled with something I don't rate. One warning nobody ever gives you: copper smells. With sweat it will mark your hands and turn your pocket linings a distinguished green. Brass won't. Both are here. Choose your fighter.

After going to my first gig at 13 in 2017 I knew instantly it was something I just had to do more. I also have always adored writing. That’s where music journalism comes in. I’ve been writing professionally for nearly two and a half years now, my main profession being music journalism. When I started out, I felt a little lost, it’s daunting starting anything new and the music industry as a whole is huge and a little scary to say the least. Along the way I’ve learnt a lot so here’s some things that have helped me at some point within my journey with a selection of media options (books, videos, websites etc.)

Magpies: The Feathered Drama Queens of the Bird WorldIf birds had their own reality show, magpies would absolutely be the stars — loud, flashy, and always up to something.
