Starting a magazine in an already fledging industry which just seemed to take nods from Pitchfork was never going to work. Still fair play for having a go and I hope your website works out for you.

Must say that I definitely enjoy the layout and writing. Maybe when the time is right a paper version can be reborn.

I was really looking forward to the next issue. I'm sorry to hear of it's demise, but I hope that maybe you guys won't just forget about the print option, but continue to keep an eye out for ways to bring it back... surely there must be at least one music loving millionaire out there who could patronise the magazine - Bono, where are you we need you after all... :) Thanks for the mags to date, they helped me discover so much music in the last months and best of luck with the site. Keep up the excellent work!

Its the whole reason we over at goldenplec dont get ourselves a decent team together and try something similar. Its been done over and again and its just not sustainable in the long run without some massive sort of revenue to kickstart and continue it when things go wrong. I always enjoyed perusing your mag and so did most of the GP members that i talk to. Its an shame that we wont have a printed version, but as a site thats been around 6 years now, its proven that its possible to being around online on a budget. The biggest thing now will be finding time in your lives for 9-5 and to run articles as good and regular as you were doing. For us we dont do the interviews and reviews so much as there are no real journalists among our ranks and time has become a major factor in the lives of all the admin team involved. Here's hoping that you guys can keep it together and not suffer Site-Fade and drift away over time as so many before you have done. If we can do anything to help let us know, Irish Music needs journalistic ventures like this. I really hope it stays alive Hey Guys

I too would prefer to see individual articles a la Pitchfork on the website rather than an online issue I think. But I'll be reading either way.
