About Me
Hi! My name is Greg Wertherall, and I have been an arts and culture journalist across print and online media since 2012.
My work has been published in Dazed, The Guardian, The Times, The Telegraph, NME, Variety, BFI, Little White Lies, whynow, and many more besides. I am also responsible for the Caught Live music reviews in The Sun on Sunday.
My profiles have included the likes of Debbie Harry, Stevie Nicks, Pete Townshend, Kings of Leon, The Sex Pistols, Nick Cave, The Doors, Shakira, Joan Jett, Cate Blanchett, Mike Leigh, Pixies, AURORA, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Henry Diltz, John Cena, Asif Kapadia, Werner Herzog, Bela Tarr, M.I.A, Liv Ullmann, and Anton Corbijn, to name just a few.
Aside from applying finger to keyboard, I compered the Pilton Palais film tent at Glastonbury festival in 2017 with Tilda Swinton, conducted webinars at Pearson College, and interviewed/compered onstage at the VFX Festival in London.
In 2022, I worked in-house for Netflix on cast, crew and fan interviews at the red carpet Season Two premiere of the hit show, Bridgerton. I worked with Netflix again for Alejandro G. Inarritu's Bardo at the London Film Festival. I also worked in-house for prestigious music PR company Outside Org for All Points East festival in 2022 and 2023 on interviews and press releases.
I have been commissioned to represent publications at film and music festivals across Europe, including Cannes, Primavera Sound, iTunes Festival, Berlinale, Venice Film Festival, Latitude, Glastonbury, BST Hyde Park, and more. I was also the film correspondent on the former internet radio station, Talk2Me Radio.
Finally, I have conducted news shifts, red carpet interviews, editing/sub-editing, provided op-eds, and I have written artist bios.
If you made it this far, thank you. Writing a bio about myself feels like a very self-indulgent activity, so I too am pleased to have reached the end of this piece! I wish you well!
