ISSUE TWELVE
Welcome to the first ever photo special of Freeq magazine. Regular readers will know that each issue we usually have an illustrator or graphic artist design our iconic wraparound cover artwork but this time, to mark our 2nd anniversary, we’ve pulled out all the stops to bring you some outstanding imagery courtesy of rock photographer Jill Furmanovsky. We’ve also got some photo profiles in place of our regular artist profiles and we’re leaning more heavily towards images throughout this issue, just check out the images in our conscience section. There are the reports from the Nottingham Bar Awards event and a full list of winners in the final part of our official media coverage. Already looking forward to next year! We’re pretty excited about our summer festival coverage, we’ve got a preview on a selection of festivals we’ll be covering during the rainy season. There’s lots more inside – use the contents page as per usual, as I prefer this space to talk crap for 300 words rather than summarise what magic we’ve put together. What I will say is that since the last issue some of you may have noticed we’ve got a new government. So, there was no overall majority and we’re now being led by the second successive prime minister that hasn’t been officially elected – way to go democracy! It’s also worth pointing out that we published a conscience article in the launch issue two years ago all about the extortinate price of petrol, nothing’s changed in two years except the price has increased by another 20% - I’m investing in a new bicycle... Enough of the doom and gloom, sun is shining and the weather is sweet, enjoy the festivals, the art and most importantly, use sunscreen. Freeq Magazine
