Hey, hey, it’s yet another picture of branded ale! Here’s Traction Sound’s contribution to the drinks cabinet, brewed by Spitfire and modeled by Traction’s John Goodwillie at PLASA Focus


On a recent visit to QSC Audio in Costa Mesa, the ravenous press contingent were invited to experience the WTF Burger at local eating house The Catch. Here’s Installation magazine editor Paddy Baker about to tuck in. Yum yum!

Nick Beck, PSNEurope’s resident sales manager, Chelsea fan and industry heartthrob, leaves us this month for pastures new: a food and cooking website start-up, no less. To mark his departure and salute his glorious contribution to the title, here’s an unpublished picture of him stuffing his face. It’s what he would have wanted


Finally, those three blokes who talk with an amusing Midlands accent, captured in one place (a PLASA party, no less). (L-R) Stuart Russell of Audio-Technica, from Cannock; Simon Jones of Sennheiser, from Pelsall, just outside Cannock; Dave Robinson, born in Pelsall, brought up in Cannock. Grayte, mayte! (Not shown: Big Mick Hughes, also born in Pelsall…)
