One minute we were like 'looking forward to Spring' and then 'Woah - clocks forward - April's here!' As the sun peeps out ever more (hopefully) thoughts turn to the outside and FESTIVALS! Our very own and dear Andy O'Hare has kindly outlined all the upcoming events in our region in his marvellous column - yes we and he know that happily there'll be more to add - but a) It's a handy little list - thanks Andy and b) It once again underlines what a flourishing scene we have around our 3 Counties and beyond and this is something we should give thanks for! APR2016 Another imminent event on Saturday 16th April which is close to my cohort-in-crime's (Sub Ed) heart is Record Store Day. This event continues to grow apace and whilst the major labels are doing their devilish damnedest to spoil all the fun, it is still important to SLAP MAGAZINE support your local independent record stores. In the Slap region the shops who have contacted us and we know about are:- Rise Unit 3a, Lowesmoor Wharf, Records in Worcester, Carnival Records in Malvern and Badlands Worcester WR1 2RS in Cheltenham: all these fine emporiums will be showcasing Telephone: 01905 26660 bands, acts and DJs throughout the day. Please check their respective websites and social media pages and make sure you
