Its always a pleasure to report on something genuinely different, and this month’s feature on the Joe Meek Teachest Project is one of those occasions. Western Star boss Alan Wilson is clearly passionate about the project and playing his part in bringing what’s in effect a national musical treasure back to life. As a reel to reel user myself I wish I could be first to run some of the tapes but I’m sure Alan and his cohorts are taking much better care than I could! Keep up the good work Alan and all.

Elsewhere in the magazine we have an interview with rockabilly’s rising star Alba Blanco, and what a gorgeous sound her band and her make! Someone I’m sure will feature many times in years to come..
