Meet the staff..Karen, Just Families Editor

Name: Karen

What do you do: I am the Editor of Just Families, assistant Editor of Just Music and wife to Just Music founder and Editor Dave

Where was your photo taken?: On holiday in Rethymnon September 2013

What do you like most about what you do?:
Meeting and interviewing my teen heros, working on the Rewind Festival and Back to the 80's I have met and chewed the fat with Boy George, Holly Johnson, Human League, ABC and more...its like a living Smash Hits

And dislike most: Well we all have real jobs to pay the bills so at times the deadlines can be a real pain. Sometimes too you have to go watch bands you really would rather not but you know our readers love - wont name anybody here - and try be positive. All you would rather do is curl up with a bottle of Gavi and watch Eastenders.

Favourite band / Artist: Keane, ok it might be untrendy but I love Sovereign Light Cafe and have seen them many times live.

Favourite job of 2013: Bingley Music Live, we were working with Lucy Spraggan but got to see Nile Rodgers and Chic and were invited on stage with him, it was amazing facing the crowd stood next to a real legend.

What are you looking forward to in 2014: Well in March I am due to have our first baby so will be taking some time out, I cant see beyond that really but I hope to launch a food blog this year, something different. Oh and seeing Robbie on his swing tour at Leeds Arena too!
