Paul O'Reilly is a teacher, writer and music producer from the north of England. His writing on contemporary music has been published by a number of websites and his film criticism has appeared in several academic journals. He is an unapologetic supporter of Manchester United, loves coffee, Diet coke and sandwiches, and has an entirely rational hatred of both Piers Morgan and those mawkish, piano-led cover versions that appear on television commercials during the lead up to Christmas.
