Eamonn Forde

Dr Eamonn Forde is an enormously unmusical person, but being tone deaf and having no sense of rhythm hasn't stopped him obsessing over rock music - almost as if it would give him a profound mastery of the industry by proxy. In the 1990s he embarked on a PhD of the music press (yes, really) and from there he has carved out something vaguely resembling a career as a rock writer and critic.
