Entry One: Welcome To The Music Guyde

Hey, and WELCOME TO THE MUSIC GUYDE! If you’re reading this, then first of all—thank you. This website has been a long time in the making, and I’m so excited to finally launch it and bring you all along for the ride.

So, who am I? My name’s Ross, I’m 24 years old, a secondary school teacher from Manchester, and—like a lot of you—completely obsessed with music. Whether it’s discovering new artists, going to gigs, or just playing the same song on repeat for weeks (which I definitely do too much), music is at the core of my life. I’ve been curating playlists for years, and The Music Guyde is my way of putting all of that in one place.

What’s Happening on The Music Guyde This Week?

To kick things off, The Weekly Guyde launched yesterday, bringing you five tracks I think you need to hear right now:

🎵 Chin Up – Sam Fender
🎵 Love Nobody Else – NIGHT TRAVELER
🎵 Open Wide – Inhaler
🎵 We Are The River – Calum Bowie
🎵 When You Know Someone – Valley

Alongside these, I’ve also reviewed three albums and two live shows, covering all five of these artists. Whether it’s deep-diving into the stunning production of NIGHT TRAVELER’s Hotspot, the raw power of Inhaler & Sam Fender’s latest records, or reliving the energy of Valley and Calum Bowie live, there’s plenty to check out.

And if my TikTok brought you here (first of all, hello!), you’ll be happy to know that all the songs I’ve recommended are in one place. Head over to the playlist section and find Elite Songs Guyde—it’s packed with my top picks, and you might just find a few other playlists that fit your vibe too.

What Can You Expect Going Forward?

🎧 Album & Single Reviews – Breaking down the latest releases and hidden gems.

🎤 Live Gig Reviews – Full write-ups on the concerts I go to, from intimate acoustic sets to massive arena shows.

📀 Playlists – Curated collections for every mood and moment.

🎵 Music Discoveries & Recommendations – Sharing the best new finds you need to hear.

While I’d love to bring you live reviews, album reviews, and new playlists every single week, sometimes that just won’t be possible—getting gig tickets every week is tough! But don’t worry, whenever there’s a new review or playlist update, you’ll know about it. Make sure to follow The Music Guyde on Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter to stay in the loop and never miss a post.

At the heart of The Music Guyde is a love for music—whether that’s a late-night drive with Hotspot on repeat, screaming your lungs out at a Valley gig, or just putting on a song that makes everything feel right for three minutes. This is a space for people who live and breathe music, just like I do.

So, welcome aboard. I sincerely appreciate you making it this far and I hope you enjoy The Music Guyde as much as I love making it. Now, let’s get listening!
