"As Performing Musician magazine enters its second year, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the fantastic support it has received over the last 12 months. We set out with the goal of creating a live performance title with editorial integrity and depth — core values that reflect the ethos of its sister title, Sound On Sound — and the feedback we have received so far very much suggests that we are well on our way to succeeding in that aim.

"The live performance sector as a whole, encompassing instruments, backline amplification, PA and lighting, is as vibrant and exciting as it has ever been, with technological developments to rival the explosion in studio technology of the last two decades. Performing Musician's editorial team is second to none in terms of experience and expertise, bringing to the magazine genre-defining, real-world product tests and performance technique features.

"Subscriber response has been overwhelmingly positive, and newstrade distribution continues to grow ahead of all of our projections, both within the UK and overseas, accelerating the growth of the UK's most popular live performance title.

"Finally, I'd like to introduce a new member to the team. From the October 2008 issue, Helen Furr joins us as Display Sales Manager on PM. Helen brings with her a wealth of sales experience and a love of music as a regular gig and festival-goer.

"If you have products or services that you want to market to performing musicians or PA operators, do get in touch. News coverage and credible product reviews are just a phone call or email away. Thanks for a great year to all our readers and advertisers and we look forward to your continued support over the coming months."
— Dave Lockwood, Editor/Publisher
