FOREWORD


‘Difficult second album syndrome’


is part of the editorial process that makes them strive to deliver something of quality, something which is engaging and informative. Tey know the difference between someone being truthful, or merely diplomatic. Certain words and phrases distinguish the two, and there were enough unrelated instances of people saying: “I read it from cover to cover,” to tell us that we had hit the mark at launch.

cover, certainly. One example among many; a lecturer at a college in Glasgow walked into a travel and tourism class to place a copy on the reading shelf. Te students stopped studying immediately and conversation turned to the man and the magazine. So, how do you top Clooney? With the amazing Ellie Simmonds of course. As someone capable of unifying


hank you to all those who provided such great feedback on our first edition. Journalists are used to criticism of what they produce; it


emotion, in awe of human achievement, Simmonds is up there with the greats from any walk of life. Read about preparations for her appearance in Glasgow this April on p24 (and praise for Tollcross as the venue on p7). Producing the second edition of a


publication can be akin to that phenomenon known as ‘difficult second album syndrome’; how can it have the same impact as a great debut? But as well as Ellie Simmonds we have some other great stories; among many, about the Festival of Architecture, the Homeless World Cup and the 10th annual celebration of legendary AC/DC frontman, and son of Kirriemuir, Bon Scott. Entertaining, inspiring and engaging. And finally, we are delighted to be the official media partner of EventIT, part of the Scottish Tourism Week’s signature programme. If you are taking part or visiting, have a great day!
