About the Magazine
Founded in 2020 | United Kingdom
There’s a big beat building in the North. Can you feel it? From Northern Soul to Rock and Roll, the North’s always been at the heart of things. It’s a humble place, but not to be underestimated. Everywhere you turn there’s something cooking. From the butty shop comes the cutting edge. From the land of the Dark Satanic Mills come an army wielding quills. We’re writers, we’re artists, we’re thinkers and doers. We make it reyt and keep it great. We’ve a keen eye for a turn of phrase, and there’s nowt like us for telling it like it is.
