editor’s note:
See a space. See an idea. See an opportunity. See a different future. No, this isn't the opening to a new Trainspotting film, it is the attempted rallying call for us to recognise the sacrifices made by new, independent businesses. Within every small business, someone had to make a leap of faith.
And we are so grateful that they do. Without them, our high streets will be Scooby Doo revolving identikit backgrounds. Without them, there's nowhere to go and nothing to do. No one wants a can of Fosters in front of Ant & Dec. It's the spring/summer transition, let's get out there!
In this edition we chat stand-up with talk of the comedy industry Chump’s, bring the busk with Maxine Scott, untwist our melons with Matt Ryan, search for colour with Polly Bennett, pump up the pun with Mark Simmons, bounce with bOing! and discover a whole heap of festivals and food for the summer.
Enjoy!
