Editing Portfolio: May 2013 247 Magazine

If you live in the South West of England, as 247 Magazine readers do, there is so much to do this month. Festival fans have Dot to Dot, Love Saves The Day / Sunday and many more to choose from, while clubbers will love Cadence Records 15th birthday drum ‘n’ bass bash or how about Love Riots huge summer party? See Recommended, News and of course our extended listings section for loads more ideas. Go out, it’s good for you. Probably.

We’ve got lots of interesting features lineup for you in this month’s issue – our interview with cover star and indie darling, Lucy Rose will inspire you and we’ve also introduce you to Bristol’s new supercharged new rockabilly project, The Rocker Covers and talk to pro surfer and laidback dude Alan Stokes. On a style tip, this month’s fashion shoot, shot by Cornish photographer, Jessica Augarde will make you feel like revamping your summer wardrobe – you have been warned! Or, you could take the cheaper option and just invest in a cool summer tee.

Enjoy your month and read the issue here!

If not, grab a mince pie and your mulled beverage of choice, head to www.247magazine.co.uk where you can read the magazine online (although if you live in the South West grab a copy at pubs, clubs, bars and bangin’ shops) and immerse yourself in our seasonal fashion (p17), Christmas gift guide (p20) and New Years Eve event round-up (p8). Bah, humbug? Feel free to ignore our yuletide spirit and just enjoy all our usual features: music reviews (p22), style (p16), food (p25) and features with snow/skate/surf star Stefani Nerding (p14), The Voice’s Adam Isaac (p10), Welsh post-hardcore band; Funeral For A Friend (p12) and local soft soul acoustic singer; Alice Watts (p24).

247 Magazine – July Issue

Who cares if the weather’s gone schizophrenic (we’re sticking to the all-weather nautical look as seen in this month’s fashion shoot), there’s so much to be excited about in the South West this month (and lots to fill a magazine with…) – Ed Sherran, Dizzee Rascal, Zane Lowe, Pulled Apart By Horses, Modestep (read our interview with these electronic rockers here) and so many more at Boardmasters and the first ever Electric Beach festival – which is bringing De La Soul to the South West! In this issue we catch up with the hip hop icons for a UK exclusive interview… We’re got lots of other interviews for you in 247 this month, including a glimpse into the world of talented young surfer, Sophie Hellyer and a chat with Yes Sir Boss – who have just been signed to Joss Stone’s label.
