Hi, I'm Rudi Banfield, a young writer setting out on a career path in journalism and media.

I'm also a punk rock fanatic gig-goer that loves nothing more than a rampageous mosh pit with a smattering of crowd surfing.

I write for the online newspaper Sussex Bylines (SBL), covering local music, exclusive interviews and festivals. I also manage and create content for the SBL Instagram and Facebook page, increasing readership and engagement with the platform. Most recently I've joined the team at Ashdown Radio as an early morning presenter on their Breakfast Show.

I'll share my interests in politics, economics, media and music right here, so please dive in.
