He's the Degree Leader for Music Industries at UCE Birmingham, and a senior lecturer and researcher with a particular interest in online music, radio and new media technology.

Well, you Mac folks came out in force for this one! The winner is Pete Buchwald! Pete has won a copy of the awesome AU plug IronOxide from AirWindows.com courtesy of Chris Johnson!
