I'm Emily Rose Blackwood, but you can call me Em if you want. I've been living in Nottingham for as long as I can remember.

There's something about being alone in these places that just feels right to me - like I'm a ghost haunting the streets. And then there are the rock gigs... nothing gets my heart racing quite like seeing bands play live and feeling the energy of the crowd pulsing through my veins.
