MUSIC FOR SQUARES

**Issue 6 OUT NOW! See blog for details**

About Me

Ladies and gentlemen, friends and lovers, Squares: your time is now. This magazine is here to revel in the music, celebrate the talent and sit back and admire the wonderment that is the Northampton music scene right now.
Issue 6 is out now. It's the last in the current series of Squares, we always knew that we'd run out of money eventually (you can only stretch £5,000 so far) and it took so much of our time up just producing the thing, that we have not had time to source funding so that we can carry right on without a break.
HOWEVER....we will be spending the next few weeks (after we've had a little rest!) reviewing what we've achieved so far, what works, what doesn't, how we can improve....blah blah blah. WE WANT YOUR COMMENTS! Email us, leave a comment, or write it on a postcard (and send it to us, obviously), because if we can find a way to get it going again (and we want to) we need YOUR support.
In the meantime, keep checking back here for progress. We'll also update our blog with articles and stuff to keep tantalising your taste buds for more Square treats in the future...whatsoever those may turn out to be. We love you all. Don't ever forget that. Now bugger off and make us a cuppa, we're parched.
