August's Nightshift is finally up online - and also out in print pretty much everywhere. You imagine a crack team of journos and tech-types working like a well-oiled machine; the reality is a one-man whirlpool of chaos and occasional incompetence. Luckily we have Good People (Ash and Jo - give them a wave and buy them a drink, yeah) on our side who help us solve issues. And so, only 5 days after it was finished, you can read the new issue without even leaving your kitchen/bedroom/sex dungeon.

In it you can read about The Subtheory, creating musical beauty out of the darkness; be Introduced to Camille Baziadoly; find out the local music news, see who's playing in August and marvel / scoff at the various opinions contained therein.

Enjoy whichever festivals you're at, but remember to keep supporting grassroots live music all year round - it's where those festival acts come from.

LET IT BE SAID !
a thought from the past ...
"Singers and Musicians are some of the most driven, courageous people on the face of the earth. They deal with more day-to-day rejection in one year than most people do in a lifetime. Every day, they face the financial challenge of living a freelance lifestyle, the disrespect of people who think they should get real jobs, and their own fear that they'll never work again. Every day, they have to ignore the possibility that the vision they have dedicated their lives to is a pipe dream. With every note, they stretch themselves, emotionally and physically, risking criticism and judgment. With every passing year, many of them watch as the other people their age achieve the predictable milestones of normal life - the car, the family, the house, the nest egg. Why? Because musicians and singers are willing to give their entire lives to a moment - to that melody, that lyric, that chord, or that interpretation that will stir the audience's soul. Singers and Musicians are beings who have tasted life's nectar in that crystal moment when they poured out their creative spirit and touched another's heart. In that instant, they were as close to magic, God, and perfection as anyone could ever be. And in their own hearts, they know that to dedicate oneself to that moment is worth a thousand lifetimes.”

In the celebration of my 40 yr in Music I want to thank you all for the support . Love & hard work.. the venues & all the staffs.
