I wrote my first article for this magazine this year, and I was really pleased to do so. I was fortunate enough to have to write enough words for a double page spread, but yes I could have written more. As the group I interviewed had loads more to say. But I had a word count to write up to and no more than that if I could.

But I'd recommend the mag, (not because I'm biased) but it's always been a really good read. Plus there's loads of information about gigs and such. They have a section about UK gigs, USA gigs and Ireland gigs too.

As for the site, it's a good advert for the magazine, and yes, it has it's plus points. If you want to know what's on for sessions in Ireland, I've usually found it helpful to check out on the section on the site before I go back to Ireland. There are some good links to sites that give you information about instruments too. And, if too much was put onto the website, no one would want to subscribe/buy the mag then would they! A very clever selling tactic methinks.
