welcome EDITOR’S COMMENT
“I went to Liverpool with no expectations but came away with total respect for the Adlib operation”
ONLY ONE place to start with this issue, and that’s with this one cry of despair: “Oh, Braziiiiil! “ They were my team in the Bubble & Squeak sweepstake, and thought I was quids in. Then the fools played THAT game, and I watched in disbelief as Germany scored again and again (
...and again). There’s sport everywhere in this issue – dep ed Jon suggested we rename the mag Pro Sport News for the month, ho ho. As well as a World Cup update (p46), the Tour de France (p29) and Wimbledon (p26), we’ve Philip Stevens’ thorough dissection of the technical ins and outs of the forthcoming Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. His meticulously prepared feature starts on p30.
It’s festival season too, and this year we’re revisiting our diary-style ‘On the Road’ report, with Simon Honywill (p38) charting the ups and downs of his summer. Including Soccer Aid – more sport! I wanted to give a special mention to my meeting with Andy Dockerty of Adlib (p40). I went up to Liverpool to see Andy, Dave Kay, Phil Kielty, Dave Jones and the team with no expectations whatsoever, but came away with total respect for the operation. There’s a real sense of , dare I say it, ‘family’ at Adlib, and despite Andy’s humble suggestion that “he doesn’t know what he’s doing”, the evidence points to the opposite: he cares passionately about everything and everyone. Last thing: the Pro Sound Awards! The shortlists! The finalists! Are you in the last four? Page 6! Now! Oh yes, there’s a bit of sport in there too...
