http://www.musicxray.com/profiles/885

Ceridwen Scott Roberts - Having grown up in guitar shops, I've always been incredibly passionate about music, all types of music.

Hi guys! Offering up my opinion of your tracks, as a musician myself, a promoter, a guitar technician, an instrument sales woman and a massive fan of all musical genres, I'm offering my opinion (good points, points that could be improved on) in a friendly and informative manner! and for free!

Having grown up in guitar shops, I've always been incredibly passionate about music, all types of music. I've seen bands make it that really shouldn't have and fail miserably that deserved better. This inspired me to get off my arse and lend a hand. I do this is any way I can. My role is to help people onto the stage and to progress in their musical careers.

If I think I can help, then I will. Simple As!
