Ruth Mariner

Art and Classical Music Editor

Ruth Mariner gained her undergraduate degree at Goldsmiths College London, where she gave up her musical talent to pursue a lifestyle of waking up on random warehouse floors, occasionally covered in mud. Now apparently intelligent again, Ruth spends her time writing for The Tab, studying social anthropology of music and setting up her own experimental music theatre company, which she hopes will prove successful with art-wankers and the like, providing they take enough ketamin.
