stirrings 137: front cover: Roy Bailey.

All of us at Stirrings Central were deeply saddened in March at the death of Malcolm Douglas. For the past two years Malcolm had been designing and formatting Stirrings under the editorship of Gavin Davenport, and was also responsible for designing and managing the Stirrings website. Since that time the editorial baton has been handed back to me, and I’ll also be taking on the design duties. I'm pleased to offload the responsibility for the website onto Mike Stannett — many thanks to Mike for shouldering the burden at very short notice. An obituary for Malcolm can be found here.

Stirrings 139 should be out by the time you read this, featuring the usual gallimaufry of star interviews (Jon Boden this time!), zany features, learned ruminations and lots of reviews. It usually takes a while to distribute (by bus and Shank’s long-suffering pony), but a list of outlets where you can buy your copy can be found via the menu bar. And taking out a subscription of course guarantees delivery to your door by a liveried menial (details here).

reviews

People ask us from time to time what they need to do to get their cd reviewed in Stirrings. The answer is simple: send a copy to the editor. Include a press release or other information so that we know something about you and where readers can buy copies. We can't guarantee a review (sometimes a record is so bad that none of our reviewers will touch it, and occasionally reviewers go missing in action) but we always do our best to see that cds go to conscientious people who know, and are sympathetic to, the genre and are likely to have constructive things to say. See our contact page for email, phone and postal details.
