All Good Things Come to An End, But why this?

Straight No Chaser

I first heard about this from Beyond Jazz’s website. Our favorite magazine is shutting its doors in August. Straight No Chaser out of UK is, in my opinion, the finest music magazine period. The design, and the articles beat all other magazines in this niche. This magazine I found more about new music more than any other magazine. After 20 years or quality work, Straight No Chaser will issue it last magazine in August. The magazine is planning to get readers opportunity to leave a message in the final magazine for a price

From Brownswood Site:

One thing I wanted to let Brownswood know about first is that I’ve suggested that there’s a couple of pages for readers to give messages to chaser. As Paul’s got bills to pay, they’ll cost. But it’s going to be a part of history. It’ll be the last one. Like the first, I’m sure this will be a serious collectors’ item. I for one will want to be a part of this, and have my say.

This is going to go live on Monday. From then you can send an email with the text that you want to info@straightnochaser.co.uk and in the subject put “ATTN: BIG UP!”

The prices are super reasonable too. They’re going to be done in 20 word blocks (each block costing £15 - so £15 for up to 20, £30 for 20 to 40 etc…). I don’t think he’ll sell more than 3 blocks to one person though, as he wants to get as many messages on the pages as possible.

If you have not picked up this magazine, you really need to. They even sell back issues at their site. If anyone out there reads this magazine, let me know what you think or even better yet your favorite issue/story.
