MAY 2020 NEWS
Hi everyone and welcome to our first online only edition of the magazine.
At the time of writing, we were still in a full lockdown so we wanted to avoid printing copies of the magazine only for them to sit at the printer's because all of our favourite venues, shops and cafés were still closed. The print magazine will be back as soon as we can get them delivered as normal.

It's given us a chance to try a new approach and get a bigger than usual selection of excellent, informative pieces together for your reading enjoyment! (Massive thanks to Youth Music for helping us to make that happen!)
We know times have been hard for many people these last few weeks and, like everyone, we've been working on how we can adapt to the new environment we find ourselves in.
It's meant a delay to our first single of 2020 but that will be with you all 27th May from two brilliant artists, Van Houten and In The Morning Lights. Van Houten were selected at a panel with Phil Taggart and Adele Slater last year while ITML were a personal selection from the brilliant Emily Pilbeam, presenter of BBC Introducing in West Yorkshire.
You may have seen that we have also announced our regular Herfest event at Brudenell Social Club, 14th November - this year headlined by GIRLI with a bunch of more artists to come soon!
We've also got news of a very special compilation album that we've been working on for a few weeks….check out www.crowdfunder.co.uk/come-stay-with-me
Please let us know if you think there is anything else we could be doing to help. Any content you'd like to see during these strange times, any artists you think we should be talking to, any online activity that has really blown you away since lockdown began!
Hang on in, stay safe and be there for each other. Big love
Tony & the team
